Art at Tilton – Sara Grillo

Fall Out, Fall In

Artist’s Statement:

I use acrylic paints to reproduce what I imagine.

There is a line of thought which has been central to the recent art you see here.

In philosophical traditions, from Buddhism to Psychiatry, the mind is conceptualized as a fragmented entity.

Unity and cohesion characterize the bookends of our lives – the innocence of birth and the wisdom of enlightenment / actualization.

Between these extremes, we experience an ego that is splintered and dynamic – in constant shift.

Where are we at any given moment?

Are we falling apart, or knitting ourselves back together?
