Jill Stanton - Strange Dream

Art Gallery of Alberta 2 Sir Winston Churchill Square Tuesday, November 4, 2014, 11am – 5pm Known for her colourful and dynamic comic book illustrations, Edmonton-based artist Jill Stanton's complex compositions explore narratives that reference dream imagery, hallucinations and alternate states of consciousness. Referencing street art and DIY poster art practices and processes, Strange Dream is a large-scale mural comprised of hand-painted illustrations pasted together across all three walls of Manning Hall. The result is a dense, immersive and dreamlike forest vista. This strange and evocative landscape draws viewers into the space, inspiring questions of how we look at our environment and how our environment can affect one's subconscious. *City / Town*: Edmonton *Event Venue*: Art Gallery of Alberta *Short Description*: Narratives that reference dream imagery, hallucinations and alternate states of consciousness. *Event Category*: Museums / Attractions *Cost*: Adults: $12.50 Children 6 and under: Free Seniors (65+)/Students: $8.50 *More info*: www.youraga.ca.
