Gallery Reception: October 07, 6:00 to 8:00 pm Things We Think When We Believe We Know, Andrea Dezsö’s first exhibition on the West Coast, approaches folklore from a perspective of wonder and profound uncertainty. Evasive and compelling threads of stories play out in ceramics, embroideries, cut and painted paper illuminated tunnel books and mixed media installations. Many of these sometimes operatic scenes seem to be in dialogue with one another across media, narrating fantastic journeys still unwritten. The stories may or may not stretch back into Transylvanian antiquity, may involve alien abductions or interplanetary travel, may have something to do with heaven, hell and purgatory, perhaps flying in dreams, but often fall back on a charm and cuteness that masks ominous and brutal twists of plot.
