with Liminal Spaces coordinator, Nancy Murray, that aired on August 2nd & 3rd on WBJC 91.5 Baltimore's classical radio station!

When deciding what to title this exhibition, I didn't have to look any farther than the room full of poets who meet each third Wednesday to explore and experiment with words. I asked them to contribute their suggestions and Jennifer Barber suggested "Liminal Spaces." The definition of the word liminal perfectly fit with the idea of erasing the boundaries between words and images, between visual art and literature, between strangers and friends.
