Sacred Space
Drawing, Painting, Sculpture
June 5 - 29, 2013
Reception: June 11
Sacred Space explores the interactive space and movement of the human body through architectural sculpture and gestural mark-making. Historically, painting told the stories of a culture on the surfaces of sacred spaces such as caves, temples and churches. What remains unique to visual art is the hand of the artist and the visceral relationship of the art object to both the maker and viewer of the art. The human body is represented in its indexical evidence in drawings and in geometric markers of ourselves. The artist creates forms that unify these ideas and the finished artworks are both sculpture and painting.
