The Dreamer is Still Asleep

OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, April 19, 5-7 pm at Open Studio.

In The Dreamer is Still Asleep, Khadijah Morley showcases a collection of vibrant, yet subtle new prints. Working intuitively, she allows unconscious decisions to inform her imagery. The result is the emergence of new imaginative realms. Working with linocut and wood carving, she creates work from a Black-feminist framework; prioritizing subjectivity as a counter-narrative. Surrealism serves as a guiding aesthetic in her practice; where dreams, magic, and reality converge.
