PROOF OF LIFE ON EARTH
The odds for artists working in America today are most certainly odd. We have been living in a locked down vacuum for more than half of the calendar year now, and have spent time with nothing more than our cohabitants and our cell phones. Our medium to socialize is now through screens. Conversations have been compressed into comments, opinions are binary, and the news is getting old.
The hostility of this social climate is stale and despite the fact that earth may feel soulless and dead - it is not. Sofia Heftersmith is an artist, human and earthling that is very much alive. In her short time on this space rock she calls home, she has been creating a body of artwork that is evidence that she is breathing, dreaming, thinking and stepping through different levels of consciousness.
She is alive. She will die. But she will not disappear. Like all artists, she will be leaving behind a legacy with her artwork. In each painting, evidence of life will be fossilized, they will be artifacts and for eternity they will be Proof of Life on Earth.
No matter what is happening, the pale blue dot we call earth is a mother and home to life. Come visit Shit Art Club this month from September 19th - October 17th to see, believe, and feel it.
