CLOSING NIGHT: June 22, 2024 @ 6 - 9 PM REPEAT PERFORMANCE @ 7 PM
Doug Hammett, Outi Harma, Brad Davis & Stephanie Shaw
Welcome to "Totem," an art exhibition showing the works of 4 artists: Doug Hammett, Outi Harma, Stephanie Shaw, and Brad Davis. The artwork is presented in a vertical format to accentuate the relationship between what’s found between opposing spaces above/below and inside/outside. In some of the works the images honor the many faces of the archetypal worlds, serving as windows to the multidimensional universe we embody.
Traditionally totems have served as a means to connect people to the spirit world. They help give shape and relationship to an otherwise intangible energy. These entities take the shape of power animals, spirit guides, and ancestors serving as a primary connection to nature and spirit.
Doug Hammett's paintings and assemblage sculptures introduce viewers to a realm of unique mythical creatures that organically take shape from abstraction. Brad Davis’ sculptures elevate found objects, such as vases, and candlesticks, to majestic spiritual architectural spires.
Outi Harma's energetic portrait paintings serve as windows in hidden worlds filled with abstract narratives and raw feeling tones. Stephanie Shaw’s playful paintings and sculptures take inspiration from her surroundings and represents them in organic shapes and colors.
As you journey through this forest of art pieces there is an opportunity to play and discover unique relationships with these hidden worlds. May these encounters awaken the wild soul within each of us, fostering a deeper appreciation for the sacred bonds that unite us with the natural world and the spiritual realm.
