HEARTLANDS, Photographs by Lisa Candela
Opening: Saturday September 5, 6-8 pm
Lisa Candela's current traveling exhibition HEARTLANDS is a body of work that would not be, if it were not for love. Lisa left the Catskills to photograph the wedding of her dear friends on the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary of western South Dakota, a wedding ceremony that would later earn the honorific title “The Cosmic healing Ceremony of Love”. It was there that Lisa not only experienced a deep and profound connection with the Sacred Lakota lands but also fell in love herself, which led to her moving to South Dakota in the fall of 2013.Journeying back to where her and her love met, the two visited the Black Hills frequently compiling what would eventually become the Heartlands collection. A body of work that captivates the viewer by transporting us back in time prior to the European colonization of North America.The Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary is an 11,000-acre wild mustang preserve, the home to nearly 800 wild mustangs. Also seated on the sanctuary is sacred Lakota ceremonial grounds where their Sundance Ceremony is performed every summer. “I believe the land remembers the truth and Justice is now left to karma and the cycle of life.” This collection marks a notable evolution in Lisa’s photographic style, capturing the healing medicines of various native animals in their original habitat, the birthplace of Lakota history- Wind Cave. A portion of all proceeds from the sales of the Heartlands collection will be given back to the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary, a privately owned non-profit organization.
