About the show
These are the faces of spirits and guides, goddesses, and sometimes versions of myself, disembodied, that I meet when I journey. When I meet someone new in shamanic meditation I try to feel them, their energy. I try to discern their faces, and features, but oftentimes am left with little more than a shifting impression of their facial sphere. I may be listening to one speak for a long time, but barely be able to see their face. I feel I know them, even though I cannot fully see them. They are felt, known through not seeing.
Each one tests my ability to discern subtle energies.
When I am scared I tend to want to leave my body, but these guides are teaching me to stay in my body, even when I cannot see the being right in front of me.

About Abode
Abode Gallery is an exhibition space dedicated to the display of contemporary art in a domestic setting. It is a reaction to the impersonal brutality of the white box exhibition space and the constraints of traditional commercial and non-profit gallery structures.
