By treating them as holy and unnameable, her riddles offer up exaltations in a sideways fashion, casting new light on the familiar, and making the usual numinous and alive. In this way, minute moments of reality can be taken apart and beheld from within in an entirely unsettling manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccompanying these nine praise riddles are nine of Rima’s ink and scraperboard drawings, which illustrate the be-praised things from another perspective again: not literal, but a kind of enchanted abstraction, or magical realism, approaching askance from yet another direction. Together they create a work in the artistic-mythic-bardic tradition of boundary-questioning and riddle-contests, which seeks to cut a key or uncover a spell to open a Door in the Stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRIMA STAINES' artwork needs no introduction here.

nine things: everyday objects, events, places, phenomena and beings. By treating them as holy and unnameable, her riddles offer up exaltations in a sideways fashion, casting new light on the familiar, and making the usual numinous and alive. In this way, minute moments of reality can be taken apart and beheld from within in an entirely unsettling manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccompanying these nine praise riddles are nine of Rima’s ink and scraperboard drawings, which illustrate the be-praised things from another perspective again: not literal, but a kind of enchanted abstraction, or magical realism, approaching askance from yet another direction. Together they create a work in the artistic-mythic-bardic tradition of boundary-questioning and riddle-contests, which seeks to cut a key or uncover a spell to open a Door in the Stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRIMA STAINES' artwork needs no introduction here.
