Window explores the threshold between inside and outside, where a view becomes available that wasn’t there before, and intentions get the space they need to manifest themselves in form.

Window magic lies in piercing obstacles and “framing…images resonant with psychic potency” so that new relationships and ways of being can emerge. The works in this intimate, eclectic show come from creative practices — of art and craft and realms resisting definition — that open the “third eye” to expand self-awareness.

“Dreams, memories, fantasies are windows on psyche’s timeless reality and the complexes and potentialities of the dreamer. Alchemy intuited such in Gerhard Dorn’s notion of the spiraculum. This “breathing hole,” or window on eternity, was a spiritual expansion through which the soul engaged in the matter of psyche’s unconscious dimension, the “divine influx” that brought self-knowledge.” — The Book of Symbols
