"Little Creatures" Exhibition

At McCaig Welles Gallery
Media: Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, Installation

Inspired by the Talking Heads' song "Creatures of Love", the works chosen for the exhibition are imbued with an adult sense of wonder: dealing particularly with themes of love, sex, responsibility and consequence. While facing a present in which many of us have seen our paychecks dwindle and in some cases stop altogether, our lives march on with the volatility of our relationships remaining intact. In spite of all the practical contingencies of our daily lives, the responsibility implicit in the joys of childbirth and in the grief of death remains unaltered. little creatures seeks to show the artists' vision of the emotional landscape in an endeavor that is invariably topical.

A woman made a man
A man he made a house
And when they lay together
Little creatures all come out
- David Byrne "Creatures of Love" Lyrics. Little Creatures. 1985
