Reach your hand into your pocket and meditate. What do you feel? PEACE? LOVE? COURAGE? HOPE? Inspirational Stones is a solo exhibition by visual artist Graham Wiebe that explores themes of spirituality, self-help, facade, and death through a satirical scope. After a recent fire that destroyed Wiebe’s studio and past work, this new series of sculpture and photographs employ humor as a way of coping with grief and loss.
