Into the Mystery
In the end, these paintings should not be viewed merely as a treatise on the meaning of life. They are an invitation to all of us to explore the mysteries of life and imagine our own concept of what they may look like. What is it that inspires us to song, or brings us closer to our children? What is it that draws us to a beautiful flower, and why is the sight of one so important? Why are we here? Is there more to life than we can see? Nina Groth has not done the work for us; she has only done it for herself. We can enjoy her vision, but ultimately, we must each find our own.
Sojourn will be on exhibit through Dec. 23, at the First Street Gallery, 422 First Street, Eureka. You can also see the images and read the accompanying text on the Gallery’s website, www.humboldt.edu/~first, which is nice, but will not be nearly as rich an experience as going to see the show first hand.
