Hibernaculum: A body of new work – an ode to winter. Through a series of sculptural installations, Griffith explores the internal space we recede into as a way to shelter from the milieu of external forces. The cave as a symbol becomes analogous to the self, while simultaneously evoking the sublime found within nature. These two divergent pathways, that of self reflection, and of representation are implicit within the body of work, leading the viewer to ponder how they are effected both supraliminally and subliminally by the outside world.

Drew Griffith is originally from Arizona and has lived and worked in Chicago as a practicing studio artist since 2004. Since graduating from SAIC with a BFA he has participated in a number of group shows and artist residencies including Acre.
