More than a year into the pandemic, deep-seated feelings of isolation, alienation, anxiety, and loneliness, are pervasive. Cynthia’s hypochondria, which in the recent past may have been dismissed as a quirk, has crept into the examination of our own daily activities. The titular work of the exhibition, The Invisible Seventh is the Mystic Column, 2021, shot and edited by Moulton while in quarantine, picks up where Cynthia’s journey of self-investigation left off in Whispering Pines 10. In 2021 we, as audience members, are more clearly attuned to the eccentric coping mechanisms of Moulton’s persona, as they are now uniquely familiar to us. In The Invisible Seventh is the Mystic Column, Cynthia turns her attention to exercise and breathing techniques in an attempt to counteract vulnerability. However, she is betrayed, inhaling invasive home decor objects, similar in shape and size to human organs, which take up residence in her body.

Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and half of Mexico was quarantined as an infected zone. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures," while a journalist agrees to escort a shaken tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the U.S. border.
