HFMA Exhibition | Gary Westford: Lifeline (phases of the moon) | May 4 - Nov. 16, 2024

Gary Westford (American, born 1947is a Salem narrative painter and conceptual artist who explores environmental, social justice, and amendment rights issues throughout his work. In recent years, Westford has focused on creating visual narratives that are both timeless and universal in their meaning while at the same time intersecting with current and ongoing social and political issues. “Gary Westford: Lifeline (phases of the moon)” features eight paintings created during the past six years. In these paintings, the moon represents a significant compositional and metaphorical component of Westford’s narratives. The social and political events that unfold take place under harvest, silver, blue, or full moons—the presence of the moon being a universal experience shared by nearly everyone on Earth.
