Nancy Issenman is primarily a writer creating on the unceded territory of the Lekwungen people. Making art is another love of hers, especially collaging with images and text. She has gratefully participated in another show with Metchosin Art Pod.
StatementI have a vibrant dream life. Upon awakening, I am always astounded, often startled, by how the nighttime journey couldn’t be more disparate than my daily reality. In this collage I want to express the darkness and pure randomness that can show up. Images of bridges and train tracks going nowhere, and yet, also, places that beckon me from afar (look closely.) Shadowed people, flowers, a vulnerable woman–could that be me? This collage is only one I could have created for this theme from my nighttime forays. Stay tuned.
