Shoman's labour of love is just that Ð the search for herself,
for spiritual oneness with the loved one, for light at the
end of the passage through life's journey. Her material
representation of such an unlikely task is as original as
it is daunting: an installation full of symbolism and an
exhibition crowning over 20 years in the life of an accomplished
painter.
"Of Time and Light" captures both: time, from her earliest,
more realistic paintings to the latest, abstract, almost
monumental, canvases astonishing in their array of colour
and masterful use of sand; light, through imaginative, novel
film projections ingeniously making use of light and darkness,
symbolically suggesting superimposed cycles of life Ð from
the beginning of creation to darkness; from the inception
of life to departure, from early awareness and search for
life's mysteries to wise realization and, ultimately, the
fulfillment of the quest for truth.
