Pam Douglas Sanctuary

January 20 — February 13

Reception January 23, 3pm-7pm
Artist Talks via zoom January 28, & February 4, 3pm

“When Pam Douglas shapes an installation, she shapes a world – one that grabs viewers by the heart and gut, and twists both with the power and emotion she presents.” 

— Genie Davis, Artillery and DiversionsLA contributor

Sanctuary, the complete collection of work’s from Pam Douglas’ three-year journey through the subject of global migration, immerses viewers in the journey of hardship and hope undertaken by refugees across the globe. 

Her solo exhibition, running January 20 to February 13, 2021 at TAG Gallery, transports patrons through a 6000 sf environment where desperation and resolve meet hope and humanity. Two artist talks are scheduled for 3pm Thursday January 28 and Thursday February 4, 2021.

Pam created over 50 individual elements to tell a pressing, current story of refugees seeking a better life. Her visceral reaction to migrant children torn from their parents and caged at the U.S./Mexican border spurred the first part of Sanctuary. She responded with life-size mixed-media drawings of figures walking to what they believed would be safety, while children grasp ropes suggesting how they are trapped. Faces drawn in careful detail and raw sensitivity inspire viewers to feel the tenacity required to make these journeys and the dreams of finding sanctuary.
