In Visionary Sugar, internationally acclaimed artist Kiki Smith explores the profound interdependence of all living things, representing and celebrating the vitality of an animistic, spiritually-charged universe.
Her imagery includes the female and male figure; birds, reptiles, and animals; flowers and trees; and the sun, moon and stars. Smith draws on a diverse range of artistic and popular sources from Byzantine icons and medieval tapestries, to Hollywood films of the 1920s and the hippie movement of the 1960s and 1970s, to create a new body of work that weaves a distinctly personal tale.
The exhibition includes large-scale drawings, printed collages, woven tapestries, multi-colored gilded reliefs, and cast bronze and aluminum sculpture.
