Melinda Camber Porter (1953–2008), Triptych Series No. 4: The Triumph of Nature, Part I, 2000, oil on
canvas, 36 x 48 in. (overall)
University of South Dakota
Vermillion, South Dakota September 19–October 14
Though most
of her life was spent in London, Oxford, Paris, and New York, the late
artist-writer Melinda Camber Porter adored South Dakota, the native state of
her husband and the setting of her novel Badlands. Now the
University of South Dakota is presenting an exhibition that features all 90 of
her Luminous Bodies
watercolors and all 27 of her large triptychs painted in oils on canvas. Often
inscribed with Camber Porter’s poems and musings, these works are best seen all
together to underscore her objective of healing the rift between the body and
the soul.
