Heather Freeman has been interested in science since she was a child. Her interested lead her to studies in the language and symbolic forms of science and where these intersected with mythic, religious and popular iconography. Freeman believed science had merged with popular culture to become a covertly “universal” religion.  This, she explained, is the unacknowledged religion of the “truth” we seek out on television, in the movies, in comic books and video games. She was particularly interested in the ways we import these very public and secular languages and symbols into the very private languages of family, friendships and spirituality. The work in the exhibition at Redux expressed these “Truths”, myths, superstitions and expectations of the past to see where reality may lie — but also to point out and accentuate its occasional absurdity. Freeman attempted to postulate, explore, and divulge these ideas, thereby forming, simultaneously, her own applied mythologies and her own private science.
