The Promega Spring Art Showcase, “Eternal Cycles,” presents a profound exploration of art’s ability to capture the timeless and the transient. Featuring Sharon Kilfoy’s evocative new series, Disintegrations, alongside the historically significant Mark Jacobs Collection, “Eternal Cycles” invites viewers to reflect on cycles of transformation, impermanence and renewal.
The Mark Jacobs Collection is one of the most comprehensive private collections of early photographic processes. Selections on display include Fred Payne Clatworthy’s autochromes of the American Southwest, autochromes by pioneering photographers such as the Lumiere Brothers, and rare examples of Kromograms and Dufaycolor. Sharon Kilfoy, a Madison-based artist, combines fabric collages crafted from clothing and personal items with layers of paint, graffiti and intentional destruction. These dynamic works explore the Buddhist concept of disintegration, evoking a world on the cusp of transformation.
