There can be no rebirth without a dark night of the soul, a total annihilation of all that you believed in and thought that you were.
Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, Thinking Like the Universe: The Sufi Path of Awakening

Shadow's Mirror is an exhibition of 10 artists opening at the explosive end of cruelest April: a month populated by holidays reflecting ancient themes of death and rebirth. We initially wanted to open this show on Holy Saturday (the day marking Christ's harrowing of Hell) yet needed more time to breathe. Seeds needed more time to germinate in the ground. Shadow's Mirror is another portal reflecting what's currently happening in nature: life returning, rebirth out of the tomb of winter, light returning at a longer frequency.

This show reflects a rebirth within the three of us, our relationships with each other and ourselves. A great egg coming from the sky, intertwined with at least one serpent. Known as the cosmic egg or Orphic egg, this symbol represents the source of the universe and potential for new beginnings.

Body split down the middle like sunlight and shadow - William
Burroughs

All of our exhibitions turn out to be transformative portals that we enter into and exist in. Each exhibit requires a ritualistic closing performance to seal in the energy. Energy that starts as an enthusiastic idea, becomes a collective conversation (with all the artists involved) and can't even be seen until after the room clears following the opening reception. It's a wild trip.
