What do we perceive when we are awake during the hours in which we normally dream? In Vivian Reiss’ “Endless Day into Night”, the artist delights in bringing the experience of night out of the dark.
The exhibition has a dream-like quality, and explores things that come out in the night, like the toys on your bedroom floor that come to life when the lights go out.
“Counting sheep” is something you do when you can’t sleep at night: behind your closed eyes you watch sheep all engaged in the same activity, jumping through your head in an evenly spaced flat symmetrical arch. Here with more compositional complexity are the sheep.
