Rock of Mages II - Melody Jean Moulton
Rock of Mages II / 2023 / Melody Jean Moulton (San Diego, California) / Paper collage, acrylic, gesso, rock / 4.5 x 5.75 inches / $125
"Time is a feral construct. It is untamed, ferociously unstoppable, and impossible to slow down. Darkly put, our construct of time is essentially a personal doomsday clock. With every minute that goes by, we are that much closer to the ultimate breakdown and redistribution of our bodies back into the Earth. A beastly guessing game of sorts where you can follow all the rules that point towards longevity and hope for the best but time has no real regard for that sort of thing and waits for no one in the End. When your number is up, that’s it, it’s time to decay. At a snail's pace compared to the human body, rocks slowly erode to eventually become particles of dust, many different microscopic versions of what they once were, all destined to become part of something new. Solve et Coagula. Alchemy. Magic. I will be receiving some of my maternal grandmother and grandfather’s ashes this Summer during a family reunion and I have been thinking about that a lot lately. Neither of them believed in any sort of afterlife. All three pieces in this series are dedicated to them, Barbara Jean and Alan Dempster Tait "
Melody Jean Moulton is a self-taught artist from California. She was born and raised in Humboldt County, but has called San Diego home since 2002. All of her collage work is cut by hand, primitive cut and paste, and is largely intuition based. Letting go of expectations and going with her gut has proven to be her most potent path of creating.
The pandemic brought on some major life changes and in October of 2020 she founded Trash Lamb Gallery, a small art gallery and unconventionally curated gift shop in the South Park neighborhood of the city. Trash Lamb features local, national, and international artists, representing a wide variety of genres and mediums.
Moulton’s work has been on view at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, La Matadora Galleryin Joshua Tree, Baton Rouge Gallery in Louisiana, Shockboxx Gallery in Hermosa Beach, Ghost Gallery in Seattle and has been featured in various publications and online exhibitions as well.
This piece is not available for pick-up or shipping until after June 17, 2023 as it is part of the current exhibition.
