Communion

Communion: to share one's intimate thoughts, especially in spiritual matters.

When we examine the systems of belief that define us, what is exposed? In this exhibition, I propose art practice as communion, offering my southern Evangelical Christian upbringing - my doubts, my loss of faith - to you. My questioning is made manifest in the altered ruins and artifacts of American Christianity, presented to test their relationships to history and to reveal even greater societal undercurrents, and asking us to imagine reckoning and reconciliation for the future.
