Anima explores familiar and basic forms using traditional approaches to art making in which the animate and the inanimate coexist on equal grounds. The artist presents 12 prints and a variety of sculptural pieces as she experienced them at certain moments in time in her life.

The focal point of the exhibit is Loper's life size female figure cast in bronze with hand-blown antique glass prosthetic eyes. Part self-portrait, part illusion, she contemplates the universe within. The reflective surface of the eyes provide a window into the soul, animating her from within. Loper's 12 Chine Colle prints were etched on top of thin sheets of gold and silver funerary money. Together, the three entities illuminate humanistic values of home, shelter and the root of all life. It is an idealistic landscape in which all beings, animate and inanimate evolve in unison towards an inevitable fate: in the end, everything returns to the earth where all life begins.
