Atlanta, GA 30307).
"In some ancient civilizations, common people often feared practitioners of science and alchemy as wielders of secret arts and dangerous knowledge. Astrologers, chemists, and priests served as inspiration for folk tales and legends of powerful magicians, wizards, and sorcerers. Through my collage work, I’m interested in investigating the instances where science and mysticism collide, and perhaps become indistinguishable. In "Almagest", I seek to expand on these themes. Through the use collage, assemblage, and installation, we explore the symbols and narratives of an imagined belief system in the form of a ceremonial alter.
