Zipporah Camille Thompson’s HIGH TIDE signifies the roller coaster of heights and depths of post-grief triumph. Exalted here in this fantastical space of meditation, cleansing, and renewal, are fluid bodies in crisis which have found fullness via loss, fullness via their dreams; through the stillness of night, here is the opportunity to embrace the pause while welcoming chaos and chance. Swallowed up in the shadows of the moon, thereafter outcast are nets of the summoning. Dusk and dawn, sway and swell, the peak of the wave encroaches and the summit emerges despite all it has endured.

Thompson is the recipient of the Margie E. West Prize, an annual prize given to an esteemed alumni from the Lamar Dodd School of Art, inviting the artist to create a new exhibition for the Marjorie Eichenlaub West Gallery. The prize winner reception and opening for the exhibition take place on Saturday, February 11 from 5 to 7 pm. Find event and additional prize details here.
