“With ancient symbols and shapes....

Sayre weaves his own narrative from a series of linked tales, each with deep canonical roots, but also, significantly, with long lines into his own singular life.”

Thomas Sayre: Four Walls features new and never exhibited works

by American artist Thomas Sayre.

Each of the four large-scale pieces in the installation questions the belief systems and symbols that underpin the ideals of church, nation and creation. Made of materials that include tar, smoke, fabric gowns, gunshots, welding material, earth and fire, these works invite visitors to draw close and experience the messiness of making, and by analogy, to bear witness to the ways that life invades, entangles, and tarnishes us.
