Currents of Being Installed at Zeal Aerial Fitness

Currents of Being is a new art installation by Michigan artist Lindsay Tyler, now on view at Zeal Aerial Fitness in Grand Rapids. The exhibition explores movement, flow and transformation through fluid acrylics and layered brushwork. Visitors are invited to experience the work throughout December and during Lights on Creston on December 17.

I’m thrilled to share that my latest exhibition, Currents of Being, is now fully installed at Zeal Aerial Fitness in Grand Rapids for the month of December 2025.

This project celebrates movement, flow and transformation. These themes reflect how art, nature and the body are always shifting and evolving. Showing this work in a space centered around physical strength, fluidity, and aerial movement feels like such a natural match.

One of the first pieces you’ll see is a forest of birch trees rising through swirling currents, a reminder of the way nature and the body adapts and grows through constant change.

Across from the birch trees you’ll find a glowing sunset reflected in textured waves that captures the rhythm of light over water and how movement can feel both subtle and dramatic.

On a nearby wall in the studio, a fluid wave moving through a grid of clean black and white squares becomes a visual metaphor for breaking out of structure, a push and pull between control and release. In the main aerial space, vibrant turquoise and violet pieces mirror the energy of the silks that hang above them, the paint itself appearing suspended in motion.

Installing the collection in an active studio filled with movement created such an energizing connection between the artwork and the environment. The collection now exists in a place that reflects the same sense of motion and resilience that inspired the work.

Currents of Being will be on view all December. I will be at Zeal during Lights on Creston on December 17 from 4 to 8 PM for anyone who would like to stop in, explore the installation, and say hello. There will be local vendors and aerial performances throughout the evening, making it a great opportunity to celebrate creativity and community.

Thank you to Zeal Aerial Fitness for welcoming my work into your studio. I can’t wait for visitors to experience the movement and emotion this collection brings to the space.
