We are thrilled to present The Four Seasons, featuring the captivating work of non-Indigenous artist Hib Sabin! Get ready to embark on a mesmerizing journey through the seasons of life. This thought-provoking collection weaves together Sabin's deep fascination with mythology, shamanic practices, psychoanalysis and global cultures into a visual symphony of ritual components.

Through intricate hand-carved juniper sculptures and ritual objects, Sabin explores the profound symbolism of seasonal transitions, inviting viewers on a transformative spiritual and emotional journey. The exhibit is meant to awaken all the senses through the written word, music, psychology, philosophy, dance, and, of course, visual art. Inspired by Vivaldi's iconic musical composition and poetry, this ensemble harmonizes with the four stages of traditional Hindu life—Brahmacharya (student), Grihastha (householder), Vanaprastha (hermit), and Sannyasa (renunciant)—as well as Carl Jung’s four major life stages—childhood, youth, adulthood, and old age.

As Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" captures the essence of nature's transformations through music, Sabin's sculptures and objects evoke a parallel sense of change and continuity in human experience. His masterful pieces embody the essence of each season: the fresh beginnings of spring, the warmth and vitality of summer, the introspective calm of autumn, and the serene reflection of winter. Sabin's signature animal figures—ravens, owls, hawks, and eagles—serve as powerful spirit guides and stand-ins for the human experience, bridging the physical, psychological, and spiritual realms.
