| “The shaman is wise and reads the signs that others do not see.” – Frank Hyder
As intermediaries, shamans act as mystic facilitators providing access to the power imbued in the code of the universe. The divine understanding of the interconnectedness of all things is prevalent in shamanic tradition. This reverence for all life makes the shaman more attune to changes in the environment — emotional, spiritual, psychological, or physical. |

| Bill Lowe Gallery presents Poet of a Threatened Eden, a comprehensive survey of works by American multi-disciplinary artist, Frank Hyder. Hyder is best known for his use of cinematic devices to create a mysterious, metaphysical reality of intense light and shade, where forms appear and dissolve, moving the viewer to dream with eyes open – to feel without touching, and to feel touched by the very experience of seeing. Hyder’s works depict a ceremonial reverence for nature, and function as reliquaries which facilitate emotional bonds to the natural world – a world that is often forgotten, ignored, and abused.
As our world has grown ever more congested by population explosion, industrial/technological contamination and destruction of habitats, cohabitation with us by other species has become increasingly strained. Each day, a timeless equilibrium is further disrupted. We move closer and closer to a breaking point. The historic works in this exhibition serve as a clarion call to remind us that there is a reasonable path to restoring balance. |
