Abstract:
Unearth is a poetic exploration of the function, intention and transformation of art within
the context of ritual and sacred spaces. This thesis will discuss the construction of the
exhibition, unearth, through the different stages of an initiation sequence. The paper
describes the transformation of the gallery into a ritualized physical and mytho-poetic
narrative space. Other topics will cover: life history of objects, the embodiment of
material in ritual, caverns as sacred space, the essence of language, and conception of
being.
