Soliloquy
of the Spirit
This is a one person exhibition held in the Ardelia Williams Galleries on the campus of Indiana Wesleyan University in January of 2020 just before the COVID19 mandatory quarantine. The works are paper. They are mounted on birch wood panels or directly on the walls and floor of the galleries. They represent different juxtapositions of the life of human spirit and physical death.
Installation Images and Videos
The passages from life to death are really portals from death to life. The Egyptian Bark or boat of the dead and nature are ways that this can be understood better.
Black and White Images in the Left Wing
The artworks in the left wing were black and white. They were presented in a narrative fashion from left to right in the gallery starting with life, passage through death, then ending with the afterlife. The format of the hanging pieces were vertical.
Metals and Madre Natura
In the right wing gallery gold, silver, copper, and dirt brown are used in a horizontal format to allude to water, dirt, fire, air, flight, birth, and the passage to spirit from flesh.
