In conjunction with Eileen Tognini, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists presents a solo exhibition and larger-than-life installation by CDP Fellow Alison Stigora, where the charred remains of salvaged timbers are juxtaposed with a turn-of-the century industrial space to create a powerful story of survival and rebirth.

The charred remains of salvaged timbers are re-imagined into a large site-specific installation by Alison Stigora in the soaring space of The Skybox at 2424 Studios.  Stigora presents an original installation utilizing 10,000 hand-charred tree limbs, which were gathered from fallen wood from two nature preserves and two private estates and burned over 184 hours.  Sprawling across the floor and climbing up two stories, the burnt wood undulates and inspires both physically and metaphorically. Juxtaposed with the turn-of-the century industrial space of the Skybox, Crossing Jordan communicates a powerful story of survival and rebirth.

For Stigora, burnt wood is a powerful medium that resonates with people in a primal way – fire creates a deep blackness that cannot be achieved otherwise. In the burning process, wood cracks and scales from the heat, creating a maze of scars on the wood’s surface.  The process of destroying and recreating is what allows a sculpture or drawing to develop. Stigora salvages charred remains from the aftermath of a fire and allows those same ash-covered remnants to communicate their story of survival as they are reborn into new sculptural works and installations.

You and your guests are cordially invited to the Orphan Support Africa Open House.  Please join the OSA team for entertainment, drinks and light fare to celebrate the opening of our new U.S. Headquarters in Philadelphia.

A message from Orphan Support Africa:

Orphan Support Africa works to restore the future of children orphaned by HIV/AIDS throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.  We partner with community-based organizations to create sustainable, self-run enterprises whose revenues provide these children with comprehensive care and the tools they need to become self-reliant adults. Currently operating in Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda, OSA has reached out to over 55,000 orphans and vulnerable children through partnership with 44 community-based organizations.

We look forward to sharing with you the experiences, the successes, and the renovated mission of a wonderful organization based here in Philadelphia. Together, we can create a major shift in humanitarian aid that empowers those most able, most invested, and most eager to nurture these orphans and vulnerable children to live a healthy life.
