Parrish’s new work, The Passage, proposes that traversing great distance, pilgrimage, vision-questing, submission to the inhospitality of wild or foreign places, or conceptualizing these, produces an experience of relative scale in it’s participants. Setting the body against great expanses produces humility in that the self- image shrinks through comparison. When the scalability of a worldview, or the degree to which a truth stays true in a wider context fails, a new worldview will emerge. Here, doorways, passages and paths can represent abrupt epiphany or slow change. Fences, bonds and other impediments to movement can mean fear, xenophobia, loss of innocence, or failure to find meaning or to synthesize the experience offered in searching.
