    This exhibition of new work explores mystery as part of artistic discourse. The content of the work remains as an invitation to consider the intellectual dialog that exists between objects; both real and imagined. In earlier work the mixed media drawings were repositories for shapes, forms and objects made visually coherent by formal compositional choices and divisions of the two dimensional surface. The results were often the creation of boxes, drawers and divided spaces. A shift in the new work turns the viewers attention to the objects themselves. By juxtaposing disparate forms to create artificial curiosities (naturalia and artificialia) which defy taxonomies, typologies and classification, new mysterious artifacs exist side by side as objects of amazement. Because they do not fit into existing categories these wonders are perfect objects for making us rethink our world. The Gallery is open to the Loyola community during normal business hours Monday-Friday. On Saturdays from 12-4 PM the Gallery is open to the public.
