Artists Joel McDonald and Sarah Lyon explore the theme of Autobiographies with an amalgam of drawing, photography, and sculpture in a new exhibit at Zephyr Gallery from January 6 to February 11, 2012.

Magic plays a role in both artists’ work in this concurrent solo exhibition.  Sarah creates a 9-ft wall sculpture purging her of the need to make art, while Joel plays off the fictional Necronomicon to question who we really are in a triptych composed of large drawings, altars, Canopic jars, and a plant.  Upstairs in the gallery, Sarah’s stark color photographs depict recent places she’s been, in a domestic setting and in the landscape.  On the first floor, Joel’s brainstorms in ink and acrylic show what happens when you brood.

“My main theme is autobiography and identity through fiction.  The story we create that defines us, how we view reality, and how we interact with the world.”   — Joel McDonald
