The emotional separation of boys from their mothers in early
childhood enables them to connect with their fathers and their
fathers' world. But this separation also produces a melancholic
reaction of sadness and sense of loss. Certain religious
sensibilities develop out of this melancholic reaction, including a
sense of honor, a sense of hope, and a sense of humor. Realizing
that they cannot return to their original maternal environment,
men, whether knowingly or not, embark on a lifelong search for a
sense of being at home in the world. 'At Home in the World' focuses
on works of art as a means to explore the formation and continuing
expression of men's melancholy selves and their religious
sensibilities. These explorations include such topics as male
viewers' mixed feelings toward the maternal figure, physical
settings that offer alternatives to the maternal environment, and
the maternal resonances of the world of nature. By presenting
images of the natural world as the locus of peace and contentment,
'At Home in the World' especially reflects of the religious
sensibility of hope.
