This Sculpture is created by our one-and-only Josh's Hope Program Director, Tripp Jarvis, and is titled "The Alchemist's Solace." It is made of cast iron and steel, with a natural oxidation patina. It was created within a body of work that centered around the theme of temple's and other sacred spaces. Tripps notes 'Sculpture is the place where i find my solace and is the ground where i do all my personal growth and healing. The literature of Alchemy was introduced to me through the writings of Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. My mother referenced Jung one day in my early recovery from a psychotic break in a discussion about Star Wars symbolism; which at an early age gave me a a symbolic language to relate to the world."
