There’s a neat fine arts center tucked away in a decommissioned school in Carmichael, CA. The Sacramento Fine Arts Center has lessons in various crafts that can be used as take-off points for artistic endeavor, and also has exhibits, shows and sales. Currently, there’s a juried show called Inner Visions, with works in several and mixed media done by local artists.
Joey’s sculpture is included in this exhibit. Previously shown at Capital Public Radio’s multi-artist show, but in a slightly different form, Where It All Starts interprets empathy with a visualization of personal communication that includes mirror neurons, the mechanism behind empathy, and the breathing in of shed cells from other people, with the result that each of us is actually made up of ideas and matter from others.
Shown this time with a different title and different working of the connection between the two figures, Where It All Starts: The Beginning of Empathy is shown as part of Inner Visions through July 12th.
