Also Presenting...
This intriguing series of images
explores the symbolism and
mysteries hidden within the
ancient, sacred writings --
imparting new insights from the
past that might provide us with
meanings for today.
The 77 monotypes (prints where
only a single copy of an image is
made) are combined with collage,
gold leaf, pastel, and computer
generated text. The computer
generated text which accompanies
each monotype uses a font created
by Bennett specifically for this
artwork and is based on the
ancient Phoenician alphabet which
is foundational for all western
alphabets.
The
Catalog of the Collection
Full-page, full-color
illustrations of all 77 mystical
images with the full explication
of each image and the
accompanying text.

interpretive dance based on one of
the images from the exhibition!

The Book About the Collection
2018 Art - Dream Images
At first glance, these
monotype prints evoke
connotations of ancient,
weathered manuscripts of some
esoteric origin. Upon closer
inspection, the viewer discovers
mysterious, hidden images and
mythical figures. These images
originated in dreams and the
unconscious mind. Just like the
fleeting memories of our dreams,
the images are not always easy
to discern.
