Secoriea’s Spirit, Midtown, Atlanta, GA, 2020-2021

A storefront installation commissioned by Heart of the Arts, an initiative that builds upon Midtown Alliance’s mission to amplify the creative experience in Midtown (Atlanta), making it an essential part of daily urban life that is accessible to all; and compliments Atlanta History Center’s mission to connect people, history, and culture. In this work, Gay creates a space for Secoriea Turner’s spirit to live on as a saint. She is honored and dawned in gold to reflect her royalty, purity and divinity. Secoriea is housed in a space of covering, protection and infinite flow of devout totem heads.
