Pandora & Hope by Anne McNeill Pulati

Anne McNeill-Pulati focuses her work, on the overlaps of the visible world and how we understand it, with the invisible world and its many cultural and ethic belief systems; she sees these elements as interconnected . The visible world provides the evidence to be seen and we may take our realities at face value. The invisible world includes thoughts, dreams, airwaves, and the internet. Belief systems, superstitions and religions have created structures that were supposedly for a more purposeful existence. Rules are intended adhered to for the common good.

.

Inspired by the many ways contemporary artists find to explore and make sense of our presence in the world, McNeill- Pulati uses mixed ethnic narratives that overlap in their intent. By investigating influential artists who have been masters of painting as a form of representation, she makes her work more about what is inside of ourselves, our fears, desires, phobias, strengths.
