Standing
at the edge of the precipice is a precarious position; teetering between defeat
and victory, we feel both anxious and exhilarated. We must move forward; there
is no turning back or staying on the edge.c 2016 Bonnie M. Bucknam

In
Oregon, we live on the edge of the continent in a volcanic zone, an earthquake
fault line, and a tsunami zone. Whether staring down from the top of a mountain
or standing on a beach, we watch as the sun dips below the same horizon. We are
all on the edge—be it physically, geographically, emotionally,
philosophically, in personality, or in style.
SAQA
Oregon artists were invited to interpret, either in a
representational or abstract way, a response to On the Edge. The
selected works are part of this two-gallery juried show at the Oregon
Historical Society.
