Lydia Street Gallery presents Deanna Miesch: "Flatland Revisited" closing reception

eventdetail
Deanna Miesch

As truth & fantasy seem to be switching places in recent times, it occurred to artist Deanna 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.

This exhibition marks the first time Miesch presented her works formally at Lydia Street Gallery. By bringing together various media and blending older works with new, she hopes to delve further into the realm of fantasy and bring the viewer along for the ride.
