Trisha Donnelly

In a variety of media, including performance, drawings, photography, video, and sound pieces, Trisha Donnelly explores the relationship between the allure of occult experience and the material gestures, ciphers, and icons through which it is conjured. Contrary to much current art which draws on the legacy of psychedelic culture, Donnelly rarely relies on direct historical references: she never uses album covers, rare documents, or the paraphernalia associated with the cults of excess of the late 1960s—although the spirit of that age is a tangible presence in her art.
