From Karyl:

Terri's triptych reminded me of brains, so I made a piece about a human man's brain being put into a robot... who then reunites with his significant other.


From Spencer Goldade:

"Despite how visceral Terri's pieces were, they reminded me of mountainscapes for some reason, so I made this..."



In reply to the mountainscape, Karyl Gilbertson created the following:

"Based on Spenny's landscape, I created a portrait of a character that might live there..."

The Skinny

The show is called Converging Conversations and its slated for October 3rd to November 8th, at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery.

Everything in the show is based upon something else in the show. Everyone involved makes one starting artwork that has a strong conceptual or story base, and every subsequent artwork after that is based on any of those original series of pieces. We need between 40 and 60, and its going to be fun and interesting!

Quoted from the DC Art Gallery Website:

"Everything influences everything else; every story is inspired by another story, every effect has its cause. Spencer Goldade has invited fellow artists to feed directly off that concept. Each artist will create one initial piece for this exhibit, strongly based in concept and narrative. All of the artists will then only create works that use each other's beginning pieces as a starting point. They are open to take the concept presented by their colleague and completely stretch it, even taking it in an entirely different direction. When the path they've taken isn't necessarily clear, artists will provide a short description or rationale outlining what they thought of the original piece and how it inspired them to create the final work. All the artists will be encouraged to explore different mediums to express their ideas. Perhaps a poem or a sculpture will inspire an artist to create a painting, or vice versa."
