The inspiration for our current theme is a memory. 

​

Lying in the loft of my childhood home, I was toying with a small angular glass object and asked my mother what it was. Prism, she said. What a beautiful word. I held this prism in my grubby little fist and turned it over and over to the light streaming in from the windows.

 

This is a peaceful and powerful memory, one that subconsciously deepened my sense of place in the universe...playing with a rainbow when there was time to ponder and wonder, make connections, build memories of what those colors felt like, and how they recalled other things.

​

This was a defining time in which color in the air was immediately resonant, and now linked to memory as life grows on. Very timely now it is, on the heels or wings of our first showing The Road, which was a nostalgic homage to the notion of the journey in an much altered and somewhat restricted new society. In both, the soul has been held somehow captive. In a time of great changes, a transition, as we are watching the leaves change color and fall, we are yearning for our other life, a beautiful life; the turning of a prism in the light releasing endless color and a captive mind revisiting images and emotions of that lighter state of being.

 

The five artists represented in this show use color in vibrant chunks, exuberant waves, wanton streams, transparent layers, and corporal and ephemeral forms. Deep, dripping, glowing, and fading colors suggest the beginning and underbelly of things, growth, indecision, transition, and ultimately, transcendence to a lightness of being, bearing witness to not only basic needs but intrinsic soulful yearnings.
