    Carried

    Carried

    by Gayle Crites

    2024

    Ink, cochineal, natural dyes on barkcloth

    33 X 46 inches Framed

    Inventory ID: # 17204

    “Carried", evokes a sense of connection and continuity. It suggests the profound bond between generations, the way in which the love and legacy of a family are carried forward through time. From the tender act of carrying a newborn, symbolizing the beginning of life and the responsibility of nurturing a new generation, to the support and camaraderie we experience within our communities, as we "carry on" through life's challenges and triumphs, “Carried” encapsulates the shared human experience.
    Finally, the somber image of carrying loved ones in caskets and urns upon death acknowledges the inevitable end of our physical journey while underscoring the enduring power of love and memory. The act of carrying, in this context, becomes an act of remembrance, a way to honor the lives that have touched our own.
    "Carried" speaks to the profound rhythm of human consciousness, reminding us that we are all part of something larger than ourselves. It invites viewers to contemplate the continuity of life, the interconnectedness of generations, and the enduring power of love and memory to transcend even death.
    Theta

    Theta

    by Gayle Crites

    2024

    Ink, natural dyes on barkcloth

    47 X 39 inches Framed

    Inventory ID: # 17202

    “Theta”, and subsequent research into theta waves lead to a fascinating question about the nature of consciousness and its possible connection to a larger universal network. The similarity in brainwave patterns between newborns and those nearing the end of life suggests a fascinating question about the nature of consciousness between these two stages of our lives.
    The idea of a universal network of consciousness is a concept often explored in philosophy and spirituality. There is no scientific evidence to definitively prove or disprove such a network, and it's important to remember that the concept of a universal consciousness network remains theoretical. However, this intersection of art, science, and spirituality in Crites' work encourages further exploration and contemplation of these mysteries and our place in the universe.

    Arrivals Departures

    by Gayle Crites

    2024

    Ink, cochineal, natural dyes on barkcloth

    36 X 38 inches Framed

    Inventory ID: # 17203

    “Arrivals Departures”, contemplates the profound mysteries of human existence, inviting viewers to ponder the cyclical nature of life, from birth to death, and the evolution of consciousness itself. With three new drawings and three new paintings in her 2024 exhibition, “Carried”, the artist hopes to spark conversations about the shared human experience and the universal questions that connect us all. The artist found joy reconnecting with her passion for drawing, especially during such a significant time in her life. Becoming a grandmother is undoubtedly a powerful and transformative experience, and she has chosen to express her wonderment and emotions through her artwork. They are a testament to the power of art to capture the complexities of human experience and to connect us all to something larger than ourselves.
