77 W Washington St, Chicago, IL 60602
Opening Sunday, March 17th, from 12PM - 2PM
On view through Thursday, May 30th
“Ancestors: Roots & Branches” is a collection of acrylic paintings on canvas and mixed-media collage on wood. These images explore memory, history and personal mythology. Some inquiries that form the ideas around this work include: What does time do to memory, and memory to time? How much abstraction is needed to sort through these ideas? What is a lifetime, and what part does memory play in creating a life? How much power lives in a moment, and how many moments are needed to fulfill a journey? What role does perception play in life events? Can an entire story be told in one image? How many stories live inside one story? The dance of the thread of life, the weaving of dreams, the circumference of a dream: what remains at the center? How many dreams unfold inside one dream?
