Terry Acebo Davis - Tri•age

As a working artist and a professional emergency room nurse, Terry Acebo-Davis understands the healing psychology of art. She applies this knowledge to her own life as she examines her heritage, personal growth, and expanding awareness that comes with experience of the world around her. Tri•age is an installation exhibition that explores these and other issues in the artist’s life. “Triage” refers to the emergency room practice of sorting out who needs to be seen most urgently, but by emphasizing both halves of the word Acebo-Davis also suggests the third stage of life (after 50), a time when one is not emerging anymore, and when one understands more fully the need to sort out priorities and values of life. It is a process to which Acebo-Davis’s art is well suited.
