In Alight, the prolific New Mexico-based artists Cory Feder and Diego Medina present a selection of illustrations and papercut works that explore the histories and implications of the obsidian mirror, an object that originated in Aztec-era Mexico before being brought across the Pacific where it entered the collection of Elizabethan court magician and polymath, John Dee.

 

The stone from Pachuca, Mexico went on to have a particularly influential life, acting as the "shew-stone" that enabled Dee to formulate naval technology that later fueled British imperial endeavors, changing the course of world history. This recently discovered, strange moment of cultural enmeshmentis serves as the point of origin for works in Alight, which consider light as an occult activator and element of wonder.

 

In this exhibition, smooth, rich gradients from Diego Medina dance into the detail-ridden papercut watercolor works by Cory Feder, each revealing different aspects of the mystic portals that we engage with, both physically and culturally, in our daily lives.
