Artist Statement:
“The mysteries of dreaming reside in the proliferation of unpredictable sequences. For this exhibition, I have gathered such newfound paths where dreams meander by transcending far-traveled certainties with an expanding array of echoes passing both strange and wonderful. Should you find any of these diamond-shaped dream collages adhering to your dream destinies, then you may take them for your own — free as indicated at the desk. Thank you, and welcome to an entwined dreamtime where each dreams of the other.”
During normal Gallery hours, gallery attendees will be encouraged to choose one of the 60 pieces on the tables in the exhibit and they are all free; we are accepting donations only, not doing sales.
The other 30 pieces on the wall will remain on the wall through the entire exhibit. These pieces are donated without prices as well, and gallery attendees can select a piece, yet leave it on the wall until the end of the exhibit
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
