Details
In Lignin: A Homecoming, Davis facilitates social ties and material connections, comparing Longmont’s inhabitants to the natural world, namely, the omnipresent element of lignin. Lignin is a class of complex organic polymers that form key structural materials and supportive tissues of most plants. Integral to the structure of Longmont and the exhibit itself is the similarly supporting role of the community.
Expansive oil paintings depict the familiar and iconic landscapes of Longmont, while handmade paper displays the more abstract components of the local landscape such as organic materials, natural processes, and the lignin-like community members: people who act as the fibers that form and support our culture.
