“Cover the Waterfront,” is a solo exhibition of paintings by Michigan-based artist Teresa Dunn. A Mexican American raised in southern Illinois, Dunn creates images influenced by her experience of feeling suspended between two cultural heritages. Her body of work in the gallery features circular paintings used to symbolize islands, landmasses that are simultaneously protected and isolated. Imagery in the work conjures up conflicting ideas of protection and escape, such as a sense of home mixed with a longing for a journey afar. The exhibit will run from October 1st-November 3rd.
