The Dream of Flight

Accès

À propos

Join us for a virtual artist talk and gallery tour through The Dream of Flight.

Glass sculptor Hope Forstenzer chose historical and mythological inspirations for her new series of wings. Wings, and their ability to lift their owners into the sky, are a source of tremendous human fantasy and jealousy. In every part of our history we revere creatures who can fly, and we imbue our religious practices with winged angels, birds, and icons. We really do dream of flight. Flying is freedom, flying is joy, flying is magical, flying is escape, and flying is always just outside of the human body’s experience.

Exhibition is installed in the gallery at PoMoArts and open for viewing Sept 23 - Oct 28th.
