MADE FLESH

Bradford Gallery (St. George's Episcopal Church) / 4715 Harding Pike January 17 - February 17th

Amanda Brazier, Jodi Hays, Rob Matthews, Charlie Newton, Raymond Padron, Jered Sprecher

As humans we lead embodied lives with all the joys and pains that our individual time on Earth encounters. A few hours in the garden and we have cool soil on our hands and dirt under our fingernails. We sit at a table and break bread with family and friends. We step outside and feel the breeze on our faces and stare at the shifting hues in the sky. Breath deep and smell the scents of the season. Each of these experiences is an embodied miracle.

This exhibition includes the work of six artists whose work engages the importance of the embodied experience: Amanda Brazier, Jodi Hays, Rob Matthews, Charlie Newton, Raymond Padron, and Jered Sprecher. Each artist points us to moments of experience, allowing us to contemplate our experience of this world. They point us to moments of joy and pain, as well as the full range of human emotions. Each artist turns their attention to the world around them and points us toward something—a thing of this world we may be tempted to overlook but which deserves our attention, one little incarnate miracle at a time.

We invite you to spend time in the flesh thinking about the often-overlooked things—the embodied experience, the life lived, the incarnation.
