Hannah Adair
“chapel is a body of work that explores churches and chapels as architectural and social bodies ubiquitous in the southern landscape I grew up in. In this exhibition, I am attempting to tease apart what I have inherited, and that which is worth keeping. A chapel is loosened from doctrine, it has no clergy and its attendants are transient. A chapel can be a setting for reflection in solitude, a marriage, a baptism, or a funeral. Bells keep time, call people together, and sometimes issue warnings. I am interested in spaces used for ritual and for those seeking refuge.”
