FAITH XLVII
SOLAR LOGOS
FAITH XLVII is a multidisciplinary artist who works intuitively. Her practice encompasses sculpture, video installation, tapestry, drawing and murals.
Her second solo presentation at Everard Read Cape Town, Solar Logos, evokes a sense of universal interconnectedness and impermanence. The works unfold through restrained and repeated visual languages that include meditations on red and yellow tones in geometric patterns, carefully balanced mosaic compositions, and monochromatic tree rubbings. The works mimic celestial patterns and invoke a sense of a suspension of natural moments in time. This engagement between material form and spiritual inquiry continues, with the inclusion of sculptural circular and root forms, carrying traces of time, pattern and memory.
FAITH XLVII invites contemplation without prescribing interpretation, creating space for viewers to encounter innate meanings and shifting relations. There is a poetic flow within Solar Logos: between self and other, form and void, the finite and the infinite. Solar Logos ultimately offers a glimpse of our quiet and expansive universe.
“The intention within the making of Solar Logos is to embed, to channel, and therefore to create charged images (imagos).
Art is to me a lived experience in which I ask myself how shape, form and colour can link us to the gods. Before language, how does thought sound? What shades and tones does experience wear? What is the visual code to feeling? Does a circle protect?
I lean into a preference for intuitive process.
It must be a knowing, rather then a belief concept.
An embodied practice in slow, steady, precious time.
Solar Logos does not push back on the demands of modern world. Rather it pulls toward a mythopoetic connection to the cosmos.
My inquiry is the pull. The yearning for that numinous sun.
And in alluding to an invisible world that flows beneath the visible, I commit myself to making images that point beyond themselves.
I open to: an allowing-ness for the possibility of dialogue with my own mystery.
A within-ness.
A tendency towards self reflection, a desire for meaning through direct encounter.
A journey through symbols at the depth of the human psyche which have operated in and through humankind from the earliest times.
Creating objets d’art as a way to attend to the soul.
In a world that is animate, all is breathing with life.
To find the symbolic within the mundane is to awaken in dreamtime.
Where the interior and exterior landscape are in constant communication.
Can images become a bridge? A passage to move between one state and the other?
Can form and texture conduit innate memories of a personal spirituality?
Can mark-making walk us though a psychological alchemical experience, from the prima materia, through the wheel of fire, a breaking apart, a death, to the inner light of knowing?
A reflection on humanity's need for transcendence, a calling to participate in divinity, as I too suffer the soul's distress – and yet it leads me.”
