Marianne Desmarais (artist/architect), Michelle Gay (drawing/digital media), and Liz Sargent (sculptor/fiber artist)

This installation, titled "a poem about water and dreaming — for new orleans," is a collaboration between three artists in three cities, developed into a dreamscape animation of arrival and departure. Vessels traverse mysterious landscapes and timeless days seeking a destination within a journey. The dreamscape, like casting a net in the sea of unknown, approaches the desire to navigate vastness with order and infinity with understanding. The artists each work with various media including fiber, drawing, ceramics, and digital technology. The animation flows from the intersection of these disparate disciplines and seeks connections within a non-linear trajectory. Lines expand, shift, drop off, and draw themselves out in endless undulations as the artwork transcends technology towards a poetic gesture.
