Details
During the long nights of winter, cultures around the world have long gathered around the warm light of fire and imbued it with ritual. Tending the Flame is one man’s attempt to keep the spark of creativity burning during a metaphorical time of darkness. Artist Bryan David Griffith uses fire as a medium to plumb the relationship between nature and humanity. The resulting works juxtapose geometric forms with organic energy to convey themes of attempted control, disruption, loss, and healing. Griffith draws on his experiences learning about wildfire from fire ecologists, beginning with the 2015 project Fires of Change, sponsored by the Southwest Fire Science Consortium, and continuing with additional research for his solo museum exhibitions in Arizona, California, and Oregon.
An Artist Talk will take place on December 13th from 5-6pm, offering deeper insight into the artist’s process and evolving vision.
