archetypal work of artist and poet Cara. The focal point for this unique exhibit is an eight foot
by fourteen foot triptych entitled “watching itself discover truth.”
One does
not get by with a quick study of this painting. Influenced
by Jungian psychology and
the philosophy of Joseph Campbell and her experiences in archaeology, Cara delves into the spirit
of the
past, the self, and the collective unconscious. You will react to universal
symbols, drawn from
a wide variety of ancient and modern sources, while seeking
out personal and archetypal nuances.
Cara has woven
a multi-layered web of
primal images, brightly colored abstract and geometric
shapes, and
representational and abstract figures. Cara places words, phrases and poetic
reference
in various languages throughout the painting..
Cara dispenses
a healthy dose of awe and excitement as she illustrates the
spiritual connection
of all cultures as well as the universal energy that
connects all life. "Watching" is
the first of a
series of four large paintings with this theme. The
painting is set to music with poetry and
lights as part of
her short but powerful
performance,
"Folded Wings, A Journey
of the Spirit."
