CULTURAL LINES & THE DIVINE
MICAH BAIRD
August 1st - September 16th
Opening Reception: August 1st, 7PM
This series of portraits is a visual exploration of The Divine Feminine and the profound spiritual and emotional imbalance that seems to pervade humanity. Through intricate hand-drawn ink illustrations, I seek to resurrect the narratives of courageous women whose stories have been overshadowed or invalidated. Uplifting beauty through a child-like awe and a curiosity of the soul, I voraciously research each origin gaining new insights, culminating in a more intimate cultural understanding.
Each piece is a tribute to the resilience and wisdom of both sung and unsung heroines, capturing their essence through meticulous detail and symbolic imagery. The interplay of contrast, intricate patterns, flowing lines, and classic elegance serve as a metaphor for the complexities of their lives, their collective and individual identities, and the imbalance that has shaped our collective consciousness. My own imbalance included. Yet through my spiritual and creative journey it is continually renewed, regrown, and reshaped.
