January 23rd- February 27th, 2011
January 23rd - 2nd Sunday
10:00 - 3:00 PM
Reception 1:00 - 3:00 PM
After the holidays , while prepping for a new year & decade, it is not uncommon to reflect on the past, and create for the future. This gallery installation is a somber glimpse into the conceptual world of the 'stuff' we are made of, of the 'piles' of demands and expectations we place on ourselves as we navigate thru the world of our own hopes and dreams; and the illusions of importance and purpose.
Sometimes loss and rejection propel us to something greater; sometimes sheer determination gets us to move along forward to find beauty and meaning. In this exhibit, each 'packet' contains the essence of completion & renewal ; the promise of direction & instruction in its own beautiful foreign language.
Loss and Found
Can I know you again?
feel the flight of hours as I touch your hand
no paper loose gone no glass bottle curbside waiting
there 's a man with his pushcart
has he felt a hand on his beard other than his own?
there's a woman whose brother died
will she now always be afraid of water?
all this sadness
all from separation
all this struggle just to enter the morning gracefully
If I swept the curbside clean
where would I put the pile?
and if I hid the pile well
still my knowing would infect me
K. Pannepacker
