Description, Long
What happens when someone or something is isolated? The sealed jar in the dark corner of your pantry, abandoned. The wise madman who resides on the mountain, existing in a self-contained space, impervious to outside influence. Whether it grows, decays, mutates, or simply holds still, it’s a transformation that needs no witness. Until now.
Hermetic brings together 7 Chicago artists working across multiple mediums. Featuring artist: with work by Alexander Trotter (@griottheangel), Collette Ayscue (@collettes.artcollection), Jiaming You (@jiamingyou_studio), Neal Vandenbergh (@wizard_neal), October Sharify (@impology), Sam Loree (@samloreeart), Sydfalls (@sydfalls).
