This event has ended.

In this newest installation, Twomey, known for conceptual fearlessness, bridges the gap between heaven and earth. Audio, film, and photographs enacting earthly endeavors float among the intangible fluffy stuff of dreams.

Twomey organizes this intimate gallery space into three discreet areas. A composition of about15 photographs of various sizes and shapes are grouped on the three walls of the entry room. The subject of the images express a variety of effort, and range from an abstract picture of skin touching skin, an old hand dialing a phone, to the corn-rowing of a young girls hair. These
subjects float against a dreamy grey backdrop depicting an instant of earthly reality.

The sounds from the next area draw the viewer into the main exhibition space, which is entirely lined and filled with fluffy, cloud-like material shimmering in the light. In and around the fluffy stuff, small DVD’s seem to float. They play video loops in which orchestrated sound and the subjects seen previously, are enacting and re-enacting their earthly actions with eerie resolve.
Exiting this space through an open door leading to the outdoor patio, one sees the culmination of the exhibition which provides the epiphany of this show. The essence of cloud nature seems to mix with that of the actual sky while a hypnotic and exotic DVD ties the conceptual threads together...
