The Cosmic Principle Exhibition, La Galeria at Mesón Panza Verde, Antigua, Guatemala Feb-April 2025
Exhibition Statement: What force rotates earth and sky, illuminates twilight and dusk, guides birth and death, and sheds in order to heal? This exhibition investigates these taken-for-granted, primal movements that govern both our inner and outer worlds. It honors the creative, emergent process of conscious awareness, and it celebrates our human potential to live in harmony with its true essence at the foundation of all life. A unifying structure of this wholeness is the mandala, a symbol of psychic movement that connects the micro and macro universe, the outer cosmos to the inner heart. Its complexity is expressed here in diverse textures using experimental plaster-embossed clay bas reliefs on canvas and paper with highly embellished wire beading and woven fiber work. Other smaller mixed media collages evoke the wonder of space and the human's own gem-like system of internal possibility.
The metallic jewel tones in the show evoke a reflective brilliance of light meant to provoke the centrality of sun radiance; the sacred, yet dormant, creative energy hidden deep within each being. Through contemplation, the dull mind is clarified and points us to the genuine treasure of the beyond; a place within where true being dwells and possibility lives.
