Sculptor Erin McGuiness’ Anadiomeni series speak of truths we know in our bones, the desire to strip away what is temporal, ephemeral and seek core truths. Remnants of what remains after years of exposure to sun, wind, water the weathering of life. In 2015, while a resident artist at the Skopelos Foundation for the Arts in Skopelos Greece, the muse arrived for the series, whose moniker is a Greek word meaning - the one who emerges. The pieces made from clay and found objects feel excavated, discovered rather than built, referencing bone, vertebrae, pelvis, driftwood; objects that are at once part of the natural world and are a world onto themselves. Sculptures as prayers, symbolic records of communion with the source of life.
One of the installation works Altartable to Her, is a communal altar to the Earth. Please feel free to bring a small natural object like a flower, leaf or twig and offer it in your own way at the collective Earth altar.
