Obstruction Island visual artist Dianne Kornberg and NYC poet Elisabeth Frost will be giving an Art as A Voice slide presentation, titled “Crossing Borders,” at the Episcopal Parish Hall on Main Street in Eastsound on Friday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. This talk is in conjunction with an exhibition of their image-text pieces, titled “For All We Know,” at the San Juan Island’s Museum of Art in Friday Harbor.

Kornberg and Frost have been collaborating for the past eight years, crossing borders of media and form. In many of the pieces in “For All We Know,” Kornberg relies on her knowledge of the conventions of scientific collection, preservation, and notation to create fictional specimen pages. “These works both honor and question the creation of knowledge, employing visual allusions and poetic text to create alternate ways of understanding the ‘evidence’ before us,” says Kornberg. “What Is Left,” a meditation on dying and grief, is a singular piece in the exhibition. “It moves between the abstract and the concrete, in both image and text, to explore the charged and disorienting experience of grief,” says Frost.

The exhibition is up through Nov. 28. Many of the pieces included are published in the book, “BINDLE,” by Ricochet Editions at the University of Southern California.
