dreaming Exhibit | Apr. 20 – May 8
From April 20th to May 8th, the Senior Winona State Art & Design students curated and crafted the dreaming Exhibit which was once on display at the Laird Norton Center for Art & Design.
In their “About the Exhibit” section, the artists write, “Dreaming encourages audiences to explore the balancing acts of life and how certain themes can be perceived within our dreams: Falling (Sadie Marks) & Flying (Kira Kainz), Remembering (Lily Scharlau) & Forgetting (Addie DeMars), Transforming (Alison Buck) & Awakening (Thea McAdams), and Chasing. Our mission is to create immersive experiences that inspire people to reflect on the paths they have taken in life.”
The artist continued, “Throughout the exhibit, there is a butterfly that symbolizes a guide that leads you through the experience. Butterflies are often a sign of time and the small actions that lead to large reactions. Through every aspect of our exhibit, we aim to shed light onto these through visually examining the interesting nature of our subconscious as well as the highly personal places our dreams can carry us” (wsuidesign).
