The exhibition was planned in conjunction with Earth Day and Dina Tottans’\u00a0mixed-media works delicately engages in acts of bricolage, playing with the meaning of found objects. Each work is like looking into a microscope focused on an imaginary Natural world.<\/p>\n

The strength of this mythology is enhanced by Torrans’ ability to frame three dimensions on a two dimensional plane \u2013 rupturing the viewer\u2019s sense of perception by inviting attention to detail and a \u201cWorld of Wonder\u201d.<\/p>\n
