Opening Tuesday,February 26th from 5-7pm in the FAB gallery, Alternate Worlds is an exhibition featuring the works of Craft/Material Studies graduate students Sarah Briland, Abram Deslauriers, Brian Fleetwood, Shauna Kirkland, and Rena Wood.
Our ideas surface as bright glints riding a wave and are quickly carried away by the flow of time. Fleeting thoughts and imaginings morph and disappear even as we catch sight of them. Can we weight them, map them, capture them for an instant? Can our ephemeral experiences be made manifest in a drawing, modeled in space, or revealed in an image? The work of Sarah Briland, Abram Deslauriers, Brian Fleetwood, Shauna Kirkland, and Rena Wood mines the expanded possibilities of alternate realities and seeks the externalization of internal worlds.

Space, Pace, Place
Lace- water down, spike it, cut it up!
Play Space…
An installation, one piece from many, slack-jawed. The most pressing part of leaving is the trees. They live in public and they need to be guarded. When I left, they had to be left, handed over. A dialectic space, recognizing the inherent vernacular of each artist. Having something to do with something, revisiting what is already taking place.
a curios amalgam,
a shifting equation,
a collage- stuff on top of stuff, artist on artist, art on artist.
Its gonna be cool, you know, drawing, sound, light, wood stuff and glue!
The exhibition as a composite; all four artist variables in the final outcome.
