Bloomington Art Center hosts a sculptural exhibition consisting of thousands of clay mummy figures created by artists Mark D Roberts and Denise Rouleau. Ranging in size from the intimate to the colossal, the work explores questions about life, death and human nature.
The artists state, “We view mummies in a curious way. They are repugnant and at the same time captivating. We are in awe of them, but perhaps do not envy them. We want to unravel their secrets, but as we search for answers among the bones and artifacts have to ask ourselves who we are and how will we be remembered.”

Artists' Reception : Monday, December 14, 6-9 p.m.
With their remaining sheets of the now extinct SX-70 Polaroid film Mark D Roberts and Denise Rouleau capture the flora and architecture of Como Park’s Marjorie McNeely Conservatory. What makes this film so unique to work with is that the film dyes are like wet paint that can be hand manipulated before they harden, resulting in surreal and impressionistic images. The Polaroid images are then printed up to four feet square on a metallic coated paper that enhances their luminosity and textural qualities.
