Gentle Existential
A solo exhibition by Michelle Blade
September 15 - October 6, 2016
“In my dream I am looking at a busy urban city street scene. On the sidewalk beats my heart, it is floating above my body and I am watching both, as if they were pedestrians. I watch my suspended heart go for a walk with my body, following beneath it, sliding along as if on a moving sidewalk. While my heart continues to beat rhythmically through the city it moves out of my line of vision. My psyche and my sight, a separate duo, pan left. My psyche says to my sight, “gestalt”, and I awake.
