Foyer

Join us this Friday, April 3 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for the solo exhibition, “Foyer” by Claire Moody!

Statement from the artist:
The quiet can attract uninvited notions– I have found that banishing these visitors can be futile. This exhibit invites them inside and gives them a place to rest, with the knowledge that their stay is only temporary. The rendering of obscure sensations is how we accept that we may not be able to define them, but we can harness them, and feel them. My work stems from obsession, and is resolved through the embrace of uncertainty. I am drawn to the medium of video due to its synthesis of painting, sound, sculpture, and photography, and the infinite permutations that this synthesis makes possible. I am informed and influenced by the surrealist movement beginning in the 1920’s, the psychology of the subconscious, and expressionist film. Although these bodies of thought have been explored many times over, they are deeply and intrinsically human, which is a characteristic that we will never evolve from or sidestep, making these realms just as relevant and fascinating to traverse today. It is lonely to experience and agonize over thoughts that we don’t understand. I hope to articulate our most obscure and elusive sensations onto an Earthly-accessible plane and bring emotional liberation to audiences.

This exhibition will be open through Friday, April 10.
