Titled after Gift Drawings made by Shaker sisters during their 19th century “Era of Manifestations” Sacred Sheets translates the imagery and calligraphic spirit writing of these inspired works into a colorful cut-paper floor drawing. Shifting light marks a day’s passage and frames a ritualized space clearing, invoking the creative labor of visionary women. Performances by the artists revisit a fruitful historic period for femme agency through intimate observations of preserved Shaker ephemera and the natural world.
