Student Artist-in-Residence Annelise Eileraas presents: The Mind Chamber

Doors open at noon

_______________

Imagine you are stuck in a dreamscape – a secret place you know so well – yet can’t remember.

One moment you're in the familiar neighborhood flower shop; the next, the old florist is leading you up a ladder into his attic. You're traversing the corridors of consciousness; the borders between external reality and inner truth dissolve with each step.

You wake up the next morning and can’t tell the whims of your imagination from your waking life, questioning the very foundations of how you perceive and interpret your reality.

Every day you return to the florist. After all, he promises to show you what really happened, and invites you to enter a realm where you become both observer and observed.

So, here you are at the Mind Chamber: Welcome to the other side.

Are you prepared to enter your mind?
