Sanctuary: New Work by Linda Alterwitz
to
Hilliard Art Museum 710 East St. Mary Boulevard, Lafayette, Louisiana 70503
"Where is your sanctuary?" Linda Alterwitz's new exhibition at the Hilliard Art Museum asks. "What is sanctuary at all?"
Through photographs of mysterious landscapes, simulated wind, and music—Sanctuary mimics the physical, concrete ideas we draw on for comfort and refuge, while also juxtaposing it with a reminder of the ephemerality and delicacy of any psychological state. If we are, as science and intuition implies, so affected by external stimuli such as these, then we are subject to an eternal ebb and flow, to constant change. Underscoring all of her work is Alterwitz's desire to help her viewers find healing and peace.
