THE EYE OF NATURE

16 artists from diverse areas of the world celebrate the many facets of our natural world. From a celebration of beauty to the integration of environment and psyche, direct experience is the catalyst for understanding. We are gifted with pure simplicity and unfathomable complexity taking place right under our feet. The earth is asleep, awakens, is nourished, then finally rests once again. As do we. In this way, we are profoundly part of everything around us. The work in this exhibition is a testament to the fact that artists have always known this.

HEATHER WILHELM: IDENTIFICATION

Enter this gallery of images by Heather Wilhelm by clicking on the image to the left. Then click on each individual image to enlarge it and see more detail, as well as information.

Heather Wilhelm exchanges personifications with the subject matter she incorporates. In this way, she explores the very mythology that has resulted in our present-day logic and identification with various aspects of the psyche. It is from the intrinsic nature of the primal elements that the gods were born, each one attributed to a facet of wind, water, earth, or fire. These gods are manifestations of the power of the individual personae. The photographs in this exhibition contain this personification to a magical extent. Heather Wilhelm has found the source of our collective rites of evolution.

GEORGE SHAW: A STRUCTURE IN MID-CYCLE

Click on the image to the right to view this exhibition of graven photographs. Click on each individual image to enlarge it and view more detail and information.

"Ever since I became aware of death, I have been fascinated with it. I've long given up on knowing the ultimate truth of it and frankly, I can wait for that knowledge.

Through my early job as a grave digger, I became more interested in the ritual of death and how we, as the living, react to the loss of a friend, lover, family member and how we attempt to explain it. Our monuments, simple and ornate, act as a mediator between us, our grief and the "beyond".

This recent series of photographs explores this relationship, and also how nature interacts with both these solid and "permanent" structures, subtly altering our present perceptions of them as well as those within the passage of time...

The photograph of the candles in a mausoleum is a strong example of my exploration of the theme of monument as mediator. The wife has passed away and the husband comes to visit his beloved and spends a great deal of time in the structure. He brings candles and flowers, and contemplates his loss as well as his fate, as his resting place is opposite hers. The light plays across this set. The burnt candles, their bending as a result of the heat, as well as the flowers dying and turning to dust add a poignancy and melancholy."
-George Shaw

*Director's note: There are certain places in which time breathes on its own, with only the past to account for. George Shaw combines a topical interest in architectural structure with the hidden world of the prime energies they house, resulting in images both factual and residual. One notices that death retires meaning, in our small scope of things.
