"Cathedral of Confusion" is Copoulos' kinetic sculptural installation enviornment. This art work was exhibited at the nonprofit ARC Gallery, Chicago, in the Raw Space (a space which has been dedicated to showing experimental installation art for 23 years.) Date of installation: 3/98. Demetra lives and works in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Materials: Site-specific room installation with set-design-like lightbox windows and motorized sculpture of human scale figures composed of resin, fiberglass, and steel.

The following are excerpts from a video/interview with the artist by Nancy Bechtol, the Curator of Raw Space:

NB: How is this like a cathedral? DC: I think the whole room feels like a cathedral...from the stained-glass like windows to the looking up... NB: This is quite a major undertaking to install, what did it take to do this? DC: This represents about 6 months preparatory work. This is my 4th installation but I don't know if I am going to do any more installations. Usually it takes about a week with a crew to install. Due to time constraints, we installed in 2 days 'round the clock. With 4 assistants and a 20 ft truck. NB: What do you think about when you make these pieces--they are so dramatic--on one side very beautiful, on the other side disturbing. DC: I think of my work as powerful and weird. Other symbols in the installation are: the hand is compassion; the heart is love; the cross is your conscience; the eye is envy; the arrow is sexuality; the tree is growth. A lot of it is RAW ENERGY, hand-eye coordination and emotion. NB: What do the figures on "The Ride" symbolize? DC: The sculpture is an emotional ride. The figures are Opression, confusion, and anger or frustration. Masks are often seen to hide emotions, I use them to expose emotions. NB: I find your work "beautifully ugly" so what other comments do you get? DC: Oh...bizarre, bent, where does it come from? But -also- it is beautifully crafted and well executed.
