Moon Goddess show

Tom Bagshaw  "Cassandra" 2012

I feel as though the Moon Goddess show at Modern Eden Gallery was made just for me.  The premise is fairly straightforward - 25 artists render their take on this celestial deity - but the roster is outstanding and includes such Phantasmaphilic favorites as Carrie Ann Baade, Tina Imel, and Scott Holloway:

        "I am tired, beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; of squeezing it into little ink drops, and posting it. And I scald alone, here, under the fire of the great moon." -- Amy Lowell

The moon has captivated people through the centuries, with her magical powers, her bright luminescence, and the strange things that seem to occur during her ever changing cycles. She is a spiritual center encouraging us to explore, evolve and find creativity in the most unique places. Some find that she is a trickster, or that of one that brings illusions that only the seerer can bring to reality. Looking up to the sky she is with us each night, as faithfull as the sunshine, and lighting our way into the darkness in which we all must travel to find light again.

Having been photographed, painted, sculpted, costumed, and brought about in every medium to secure her mystical allure into eternity -- it is no wonder why we adore her presence. With this exhibition the artists have taken all her nature, and created artwork based on the "moon".

The curators, Aunia Kahn and Russell J. Moon, should feel very proud, as it looks marvelous.  The show opens on October 27th and is up through November 11th.  SF folks, be sure to check it out.
