ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Gillian McLean finds creative connection between her inner spiritual experience and her processing of grief and trauma through painting. Lost and Found engages the audience to encounter the seasons of life that shape and strengthen our spiritual journey and identity. The artwork invites us along McLean's pilgrimage to find hope within the wilderness, and is meant to create an immersive experience that invites participants into deeper conversation to find the threads of hope within their own journeys.
