Lita Barry essay
about Kelly Berg
'Berg’s dramatic paintings of erupting volcanoes, lava, lightning bolts and tidal waves reference Mount Vesuvius, Amboy Crater, the volcanic islands of Hawaii and Giant Rock in Mojave Desert and parallel the philosophy of the sublime (espoused by 17th century Irish philosopher, Edmund Burke) because her work awakens the viewer’s feelings of primal dread of the destructive power of nature. In our current apocalypse of terrifying climate events, Berg’s reminders of the ancient history of natural catastrophes give the viewer a heightened sense that geological time is more stupendous than human constructions of time.
Even so, Berg’s play on light emerging from darkness transcends the pervasive pessimism of our current era. When I spoke to Berg, she emphasized that she is always an optimist and she wants her exhibition to remind viewers of the rebirth of natural beauty that comes from disruption. Berg’s fascination with Pyramidion imagery is a complex message that climate change can be the catalyst for driving human psychology into deeper respect for the spirituality of nature.'
