Recorded on 11/5/11 Opening Reception for Art on the Wall Virtual Gallery Series featuring Caren Canier's Journey in Egypt.
Ancient Egyptian artifacts and their ambiguous relationship to contemporary Islamic culture has been the subject of my most recent work. The emergence of the “Arab Spring” shortly after my visit further heightened my awareness of the strange marriage of cultures and visual vocabularies in Egypt, making me acutely aware of the intertwining of civilizations through time and space. The expression “history repeats itself” has taken on a more profound meaning as I observe the artifacts of worship, conflicts and conquests that occurred so many centuries ago.
On view throughout months of November and December. Part of Ione's 16th Annual Dream Festival.
