GAIA: The Earth Mother, Life, and Natural Artifact from Mongolian artist Orkhontuul Banzragch travel from the far east of the Mongolian Plateau, together creating an iterative dialogue about time—the past, present, and future—that seems difficult to separate. Memory and future-telling are synthesized here.
Orkhontuul's sheepskin-coated Gaia and oil painting of Life seem to have arrived from the future, while Natural Artifact made from polymer has fossilized ancient roots from the past. All works make viewers feel relieved, knowing that, in the end, consciousness sourced from ultimate kindness will survive all.
