THE SUPREME INTERRUPTER
MEDITATIONS ON LIFE & LOSS
an exploration on loss and the search of balance amidst the process of being.
JOHN CAMPBELL & AUDREY LYNCH
November 16 - December 2, 2017
The Supreme Interrupter: Meditations on Life and Loss, an exhibition by artists John Campbell and Audrey Lynch, explores loss and the search for balance amidst the process of being. The works feature a surreal and visceral perspective on the landscape of life and death, the inevitability of the supreme interrupter, and the ripples ultimately left behind. John and Audrey present a unique and explorative view of loss through dream-like lenses, propelling the viewer into worlds and expressions of an impactful, cosmic and inevitable life journey. They search for zen within the chaos.
