Unseen Forces

December 17, 2017 — September 2, 2018

Five very different art environments investigate how the creative spirit plays with our acceptance or denial of fact.  Operating from the premise that the employment of imagination propels artists to contemplate what is possible rather than what is known, Unseen Forces contemplates the role of fiction and belief in the uncovering of universal truths.
