Donna Dennis's Ship/Dock/Three Houses and the Night Sky Takes Over Private Public Gallery
I had the opportunity to meet with the visionary artist Donna Dennis at her studio in the Hudson Valley in advance of the opening of her exhibition at Private Public Gallery in Hudson, NY, which I reviewed for Chronogram.com.
“Despite the gravity of what this work suggests, Ship/Dock/Three Houses and the Night Sky brings comfort. The entire gallery is transformed into a vessel for it, letting the meditative rhythm of the soundscape, the almost imperceptible shift from day to night, and the surrounding darkness overwhelm you. It offers a life in three acts, or a full life brought into view, in a tableau of reflection, resistance, and calm. Moreover, it creates the possibility of not only occupying but fully becoming a room of one’s own.”
