Home: Human = Cage: Cockatoo, Towson University’s Center for the Arts 2014 Artscape Gallery Network Show, defines home through different approaches to discomfort. For artist David Page, home can be threatening and torturous; for Ben Marcin, it is abandoned memory; for Katherine Sifers, it is postmodern vanitas; for Margaret Rogers, it is fantasy; for Avi Gupta, it is familiar but alienated; and for Mary Beth Muscara, it is fusion.

The exhibition is curated by Cheryl Harper, an independent curator working in the mid-Atlantic. With an M.F.A. in printmaking from the University of Delaware and an M.A. in Art History in Modern and Contemporary Art from Temple University, Harper has curated over 50 exhibitions throughout the region and is a practicing artist.
