Down to Sleep

An exhibit curated by Joetta Maue

Chester F. Sidell Gallery

March 1 - April 12, 2013, Opening Reception: March 1, 2013, 5-7pm

 

The bed is a powerful locale in our daily life - with most of us beginning and ending our day here. We experience our most intimate moments of vulnerability, love, passion, sadness, and weakness here.  Most of us begin and end our life in this place that is piled with soft sheets and pillows.  As a metaphor we can experience all the most significant emotions of human life in this one simple place of our daily life.  This exhibit is work that explores this liminal space with contemporary fiber practices.
