Perceived Threat

Artist Jessica Bell.

Perceived Threat, created between 2020-2021, features life-size cast ceramic guns and powerfully reflects the urgency of the Black Lives Matter movement during a time when unarmed individuals faced deadly violence by police. Perceived Threat stands as a profound example of how art can inspire awareness and community belonging through thoughtful expression. It is a vital addition to our collection that resonates deeply with our mission to intertwine art, climate, and culture.
