Angela Ellsworth expands her creative research in the Plural Wife Project, from the invisibility of women within religious institutions (specifically Mormonism) to the invisibility of female artists and spiritualists of the 19th century. Inspired by artists Agnes Pelton, Hilma af Klint, and Emma Kunz, her new work consists of sculptures, paintings, and drawings based on occult practices, sacred geometries, and "magical" instruments for perceiving the world in a new way.
