Joan Harmon "Aftermaeth"
Phoenix Gallery
This event has ended.
The inspiration for “Aftermaeth” is that moment after a storm when all is quiet in the wake of extreme violence. Our manmade world is rearranged & rewoven with nature’s forces and a new charged moment experienced. Another reference is an excerpt from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, “The Lee Shore” which seemed to resonate with the sculptural moment I envisioned. Here is a small portion of the excerpt I have included in the aural aspect of the sculpture…
”Glimpses do ye seem to see of that mortally intolerable truth; that all deep, earnest thinking is but the intrepid effort of the soul to keep the open independence of her sea; while the wildest winds of heaven and earth conspire to cast her on the treacherous, slavish shore?”
