Bone Tails
Myths are the foundation of our language and literature. They inspire us to strive for things we can only dream about and they warn us of ancient curses. These stories from antiquity are far from over with us; they continue to be passed down and mutate, yet still retain a recognizable form.
Bone Tails is an exhibition of paintings, sculpture, print and installation revolving around the theme of myth and fable. Primordial beasts share the stage with heroes, villains and anthropomorphic figures, interacting in ways that are simultaneously predictable and mysterious.
Opening August 7th 6-10PM
