Alma's is honored to present this works by artist Morgan Gilbreath. The Aura series is included in the exhibition Common Era. Common Era explores the passage of time through labor, process, found and collected materials. From a decade of calendar planners and a team’s worth of cheerleading uniforms, to every ball used in the artist’s elementary school gym - these peripheral objects are deconstructed, processed, and re-created into sculptures which oscillate between devotional objects, personal memorials, contemporary monuments
