Mimicking the form and scale of religious painting, this ambitious eight-panel work bears witness to personal and cultural experiences of violence and its aftereffects, contextualizing the MeToo movement in a longer historical arc. On the left, collaged newspapers testify to pervasive male violence against women, children, and older people. They were gathered over many months by Snyder and her mother from local newspapers all over the country. Across the panels, left to right, the moon transitions to the sun. The colors shift from dark to light, Adoration 65 F15 continued revealing a landscape—an angel appears overtop, referencing the resurrection of the work’s title. Embedded in the painting's panels are material scraps the artist found at local yard sales. You can see one in the largest panel. Acquired by the MFA in 1986, the first time we've displayed Resurrection at the Museum was in 2023.
