Closing Reception: Flatland Revisited

As truth & fantasy seem to be switching places in recent times, it occurred to Miesch that fantasy was in danger. Flatland Revisited is her mish-mash of two very different fantastical realms. Flatland, a fiction story by 19th century mathematician, Edwin Abbot, in which men are polygons & women are lines, has long been a source of inspiration. A recurring image/symbol is a woman emerging from the pinprick point with which she can see in Flatland, taking on an actual dimensional form as she journeys into the world. White rabbits & Wonderland are another inspiration. This exhibition examines themes from these disparate sources, with a new story emerging. Painting, sculpture, photography and felt media are brought together, and may alter its course from the start to the completion of the exhibition.
