Standing at the edge of the precipice, a precarious position, teetering between defeat or victory we feel both anxious and exhilarated.  We must move forward, there is no turning back or staying on the edge. In Oregon, we live on the edge of a volcanic zone, an earthquake fault line, a tsunami zone, on the edge of the continent.  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.
