Dreamgate: A Temple of the Human Spirit
I have a vision for a permanent home to exhibit The Space Series, a collection of monumental figurative works of human gods and goddesses set against the backdrop of the cosmos. This series represents a revolutionary advancement in color and light theory and embodies the idea that while our shadowed selves may be transparent, it is the light that truly defines us.
Dreamgate: A Temple of the Human Spirit will be a sanctuary for this vision, a place where reflection, imagination, and transcendence come together. It will serve as a permanent space for The Space Series, a collection of 16 to 18 monumental paintings that guide viewers through the emergence of fully realized human beings from the raw material of the universe.
The project is inspired by the idea that the highest achievements in art reflect the fullest expression of the human spirit. Dreamgate will not just be an exhibition but a temple dedicated to the journey of the human experience, highlighting both the divine and the personal in the universal story.
Dreamgate will find its permanent home within the Newberry Museum, a space dedicated to the vision of humanism and figurative art.
