”Altered States”
Valerie Hegarty
Hegarty’s depiction of destruction is a departure point to examine larger issues of erasure, repression, the uncanny, metamorphosis, death and rebirth. Hegarty painstakingly crafts her works from foam core, papier mâché and ink-jet prints on canvas that she then paints, carves, twists, drapes, amputates, and grafts to create mutated originals where the fictional disasters behave as a catalyst for the works coming back to life.

Hieronymus Bosch’s “The Garden of Earthly Delights” (1505-1510)
In three panels, Bosch’s triptych features the Garden of Eden, the Garden of Earthly Delights, and hell. In the first panel, he illustrates an ideal world, although he includes details of evil to come - animals eat one another, and Adam and Eve are thin nudes who lack backbone and resolve. The Garden of Earthly delights exhibits excessive sexuality, including the eating of suggestive fruits and berries and wading pools for the nude. Hell, finally, is where the figures are tormented and punished for their earthly excesses. Interestingly enough, musical instruments are the primary means of torture.
