From Beginning to End: Allison Sloan Roberts

From Beginning to End

October 30-December 18

Reception: October 29 from 6pm-8pm

Our lives are inextricably linked. The artists in this exhibition explore birth, life, and death in different ways, all attempting to understand their own relationship with the world.

Our lives have a beginning and end whether we believe it is predetermined or by chance, we all experience our world in different ways. Some believe that personal stories and memories are what define our lives. Some fixate on illness and our progression towards death while others take comfort in the fact that they are part of a cycle that is ongoing. Even though we look at life differently we will experience birth and new beginnings as well as mourn the loss of someone close.

This exhibition asks the viewer to reflect on and question their own personal feelings about life and death, and leave with a deeper understanding of their own mortality.

Saccade Saccade

Allison Sloan Roberts’ haunting images are photographs of an illusion, of a photograph of a recreation, of a fiction on film. Her work investigates fear and death. In Saccade Saccade, Roberts explores the effect classic horror films have had on our understanding of death.
