...was a mixed media show by the artist, John Greiner-Ferris, at Atlantic Works Gallery that ran for the month of November, 2024. The show was lit by eleven bare bulbs hanging from white electric cords, with one more bare bulb (for a total of 12 bulbs for the 12 months of 2024) suspended on a dark cord over a central installation, Has anyone seen my heart? I took it out and laid it down somewhere and now I can't find it.
About the series
I began this series in January 2024 and continued working on it right up to October 2024. It is my response to some of the events and issues that are prevalent in the United States, such as economic disparity, divisiveness, school/mass shootings, and our species’ ability to destroy itself. As the November presidential election approached and without knowing its outcome, the final two pieces are my attempt to offer up kindness and encouragement.
My approach
When you were a child did you ever build a clubhouse using whatever material you could get your hands on? Not worrying if things matched or lined up exactly? It’s in that spirit that I approached these mixed media pieces.
