Tedd Nash Pomaski "At the Foot of the Lighthouse"
Bose Pacia
This event has ended.
Tedd Nash Pomaski’s At the Foot of the Lighthouse explores the depth and distance between moments of darkness, mortality, and certainty. The exhibition is comprised of graphite on paper drawings that utilize rolling waves, empty streets, and haunting medical examination rooms as primary data points. Through multiple phases of practical and metaphorical remove, the artist is able to best capture the essence of the passages depicted.
The exhibition title, like many of the artwork titles, is a fragmented proverb. The full title phrase reads, “darkness reigns at the foot of the lighthouse” and implies that basic understanding is often sacrificed when one is projecting cognitive momentum far into the distant past or future. By basing understanding of a given moment on a collection of associated memories or future beliefs, reality is likely to be misconstrued. In At the Foot the of the Lighthouse, Nash Pomaski leads us gingerly out of the Platonic Cave of projected shadows and into a, perhaps hazy at first, moment of light-filled observation.
