K. Daphnae Koop '79 exhibition "But Trailing Clouds of Glory Do We Come" is now on display at the Susan Hensel Gallery.

But Trailing Clouds of Glory Do We Come, braids three central ideas. One from the artist's personal life, one from nature, and one from our shared cultural heritage. At once autobiographical, organic, and ekphrastic, it manages to also serve the higher synthesis of all of these. The series manages this difficult and noble task by drawing on the features Koop has spent her artistic career mastering. The result brings together the simple materials of wood and stone to remind us of that eternal mystical state hidden all around. And when we glimpse it, we may finally know, or remember, true communion.

But Trailing Clouds of Glory Do We Come
On view through August 15
Susan Hensel Gallery (Minneapolis, MN)
