The clinical term “delusions of grandeur” refers to fantasies of wealth, power or omnipotence, ideas of a grandiose nature or extravagant things or actions.  But as a popular euphemism, the term lends itself to how daydreams truly inspire lofty goals and fuel the struggle for the common to attain true originality.  Aspiring to be more, but never removing tongue from cheek, the artwork presented explores various stages of this state of bravado such as the preservation of trivial items for posterity, intergalactic communication and the artist as Superman.  Also touched upon is the aftermath of these flights of fancy which are often realizations of inadequacy or failure.    

Opening Reception: September 19, 6:30-10pm
 New Gallery Hours: Saturdays, 3-5pm and by appointment.
