Exhibit Description:

"The term "The Dark Night of the Soul" was coined by the 16th-century Christian mystic, St. John of the Cross, who used it to describe spiritual crises. Now it has also come to describe psychological ones. Often a dark night is triggered by devastating outer events. One of its symptoms is no longer having any sense of solid ground. And that is so. We've found that the solid ground we've created and believed in up until now was not completely based on reality. Sometimes all hope is lost and new inner resources must be found. A new and firmer sense of self can develop based less on external factors."

Paintings, drawings and sculptures by: Jinny Brown, Lisa Byrne, Victoria Christian, Christy French, Ann Hackett, Ron Hadath, Jessalynn Jones, Mary Landberg, Betsy Lewis, Janet London, Tarri Lucier, Melissa Markell and Marla Samuel.
