WHAT DREAMS MAY COME unfolds through surreal imagery and recurring figures that move fluidly between the conscious and the unconscious. Sabine Carlson conjures scenes of water birds and humans entwined in acts of rescue, evoking tenderness, risk, and mutual reliance. Irene Christensen reveals fragments of unseen landscapes, intimate microcosms poised between growth and decay, where body and terrain blur into one another. Stephanie Lempres offers abstract, geometric, color field paintings that establish a quiet architecture, opening a temporal window for dreaming, stillness, and possibility. Sarah Riley’s mixed media works and sculptures draw from myth, literature, and personal history, transforming memory through acts of reinvention.
