‘INVISIBLE PRESENCE’ Group Exhibition @ Mortal Machine Gallery [NOLA]
Interpretations of sacred symbolic imagery by Daniel Martin Diaz, Michele Melcher & Rachael Bridge with new sculptural works by Ross Takahashi
This Friday, March 20th, a new exhibition will open at Mortal Machine Gallery in New Orleans. Titled ‘Invisible Presence,’ the group show will feature work by Daniel Martin Diaz, Michele Melcher, and Rachael Bridge, along with new sculptural works by artist Ross Takahashi being presented in the gallery’s Showroom 2.
The press release explains that “The exhibition explores themes of symbolism, geometry, mysticism, mortality, and the unseen forces that shape human experience. Each artist approaches these ideas through a unique visual language, creating a show that moves between metaphysical systems, psychological portraiture, and contemporary interpretations of sacred and symbolic imagery.“
