Multidisciplinary, metaphysical artist Virginia L. Montgomery presents a new solo exhibition, "Eye Moon Cocoon," a surrealist thought-experiment about the philosophical praxis of atomic healing.

The exhibition features new video art, sound art, performance photographs, and sculptural objects situated in a dream-logic dialogue interweaving psychoanalytic, mythological, and scientific textures. It encompasses Montgomery’s recent studio collaborations with native Texas Luna moths and her on-going research into the multifaceted associations of the moon.

From visiting NASA Space Center Houston to introduce live luna moth cocoons to NASA's beloved moon rocks, to working on a miniature film-set with a moth-scale bed built for non-human healing, Montgomery and her moth-familiars co-create a curious dreamworld of symbols, sounds, and gestures to conjure an environment for hope.

With an eye towards the uncanny omnipresence of circular symbolics, Montgomery asks, "Does consciousness shape the moon, the egg, the eye? And how can consciousness re-shape us through healing?" "Eye Moon Cocoon" invites viewers into Montgomery's synthesia-esque realm of symbols (like circles, holes, spheres) sounds (like Texas thunderstorms, temple bells, power drills) and gestures of gentleness—to create space for cosmic intimacies to unfurl like moth wings.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until November 30.
