In 1977, a small planetoid named 2060 Chiron was discovered in our outer Solar System. Although a photographic record of it reaching back to the 1890s has been assembled, no one had noted it before that day at an observatory in Pasadena. In Greek mythology, the centaur Chiron embodies Jung’s ‘wounded healer’ archetype. After facing early life abandonment, Chiron is fatefully pierced by his own poison arrow, incurring an unhealable wound that he carries with him for the rest of his life. This injury propels Chiron to a resurrection and transcendence of the physical experience, leading to a lifelong journey to discover and share the healing qualities inherent in nature. The Key Of Chiron is on view at Five Car Garage Open every Saturday 12-4pm and by appointment. painting stills were shot by Don Lewis and the install pics by Matthew Farrar.
