The Multi-verse

Piece Description:

Text: Sophia Kidd

This multi-media installation artwork created in New York, New York as well as on-site here at the Riverside Art Center is a culmination of many of the visual elements and natural principles that the artist has been working on throughout her sixty year career as an artist and water activist. The initial building block of this artwork is the image of water created in the shape of a biological heart. Damon’s observation that all living hearts, whether belonging to a human, whale, pig, or bee, are essentially the same in shape and function draws an important connection between all sentient beings on earth. Also, the observation that the biological heart pulses and contracts in the motion of a vortex draws an essential connection between the heart and water, itself. Water moves essentially in a vortex-like motion. When water is allowed the freedom to move in this vortex-like motion, it remains healthy and life-giving.
