Terri Phillips at WPA - The Bloody Pond
Terri's work, shown at the WPA in Chinatown, was an ethereal and haunting visual poem about the American Civil War battle of Shiloh (Tennessee in 1862) which was the bloodiest battle in US history at that time. There is a piece (my favorite) made of shattered red glass on the floor representing the waters in Shilo that were indelibly and psychologically stained by the death of soldiers and their horses. Terri has a great talent for representing complex texts and ideas via eerie, haunting and poetically infused objects and images. Terri will be translating the 'hearth' of the wedding - the place on which the couple will stand to get married. She will most likely make a piece using glitter and mirrored glass that will resemble the red glass piece in her current show but it is sure to be the psychological opposite and will celebrate the marriage with some sort of illuminating symbol.
