Description:

Views of the Sacred asks you to penetrate the superficial and experience the profound. Harry Pollitt’s work provides the g-force, Katey Cooper’s vision expands from the minutest cell to the cosmos, Paul Chandler’s landscapes speak to the untamable within us all, and Lindsay Ahl’s philosophy and elephants offer a way into the mystic. Views of the Sacred is a show that explores ancient patterns, places and icons, and demonstrates that the more we understand, the deeper the mystery reverberates.

Asking fundamental questions without glitter, these artists share an appreciation of majesty. From the expansiveness of a landscape to the minuteness of a cell, or from the sinuous curves of sculpted wood to the elephant in a world evoked through iconography, this show is inspired by the natural world. These artists provide the viewer an opportunity to meditate upon our lives with fresh vision. Every moment opens onto the timeless; these works invite the viewer to step through that opening.

Ahl, Chandler, Cooper and Pollitt offer a view of the sacred: the worlds of worlds inside each cell; the way the time is always now.
