Rituals
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007The current show in the Swell Gallery is titled “Rituals,” and strategically subtitled “From Everyday to Once in a Lifetime, Public, Private, Symbolic” to include the widest stretch of what might be considered ritual. It features work by fifteen artists in the summer graduate program. The group of work spans a lovely spectrum between personal meaning to widely recognizable.
Here are the works in counter-clockwork order as you enter the gallery.
