Dawn and Gemma Temple is part of Swoon’s 7 Contemplations body of work, which was first exhibited at the Albright Knox Gallery in Buffalo, NY in 2021. The installation serves as a place to contemplate the nurturing aspect of unconditional love that exists between a parent and child. Unique elements such as honeycomb ceiling and seating area inside the temple offer an opportunity for solace and basking in the most potent experience of contemporary art.
