Works by Meredith Davenport and Margaret LeJeune
September 4 – December 19, 2026
Explorations in the Ecotone brings together the work of Meredith Davenport and Margaret LeJeune to explore the shifting boundaries between human and more-than-human worlds. Taking the ecotone – a transitional space where distinct ecosystems meet and intermingle, as both subject and metaphor, the exhibition examines warming and rising oceans, extraction technologies, and the ecological histories embedded within place. Through attentive acts of seeing, sensing, and listening, these works reveal the interconnectedness of environmental change, material processes, and social histories while inviting reflection on our relationships with the living world. Together, the exhibition and its public programs encourage communities to imagine more reciprocal futures grounded in ecological care, wonder, and responsibility.
