Cloths of heaven : SiobhÁn Arnold

February 21, 2019 - May 5, 2019
Artist Reception: Thursday, February 21, 5-7PM 

In collaboration with Porto Vista Hotel, 1805 Gallery is pleased to present Cloths of Heaven, by Siobhán Arnold

Cloths of Heaven 2010 is a series of original photographs inspired by the art historical representation of female figures from biblical, allegorical, and mythological narratives.

Drawing largely from the late Mannerist and Baroque periods of European painting, the images are reinterpreted "mise en scenes".   Arnold is interested in the use of fabric and drapery as a pictorial device accentuating the stories of the women represented in these compositions.
