SUMMARY:Sara Dismukes Solo Exhibition\, "Mishearing Mnemosyne "
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery\, AL artist Sara Dismukes will have her solo exhibition\, “mishearing Mnemosyne “\, on display November 6 through December 15 at the Western Illinois University Art Gallery. \nA reception for the artist will be held Tuesday\, November 6\, 4:30-6:00 p.m. The artist will speak about her work at 5:00 pm. \nSara Dismukes is a multidisciplinary artist and educator currently living in Montgomery\, Alabama. She is a member of the art and design faculty at Troy University. Her studio practice includes drawing\, painting and graphic design\, as well as traditional bookbinding. \n“We all move back and forth between public and private spaces. Rather than call attention to the origin or the destination\, I pay attention to what is found along the way. I am compelled by the social mediation of landscape\, and how desire and disregard are manifested in objects and spaces over time. \nMy work celebrates the things we pass by\, often unnoticed\, while moving about our day. I am interested in entropy as well as the growth that is its companion. Close observation of the patterns and structures in nature\, as well as the rhythm of its seasonal cycles\, is an enthusiasm and an influence. I see tenacity and resilience within these systems and feel deeply connected to them.”
