El Telar De Un Sueño
March 5 - March 28
Opening Reception on Arts Night Out
Pamela Acosta often finds inspiration in literature and nature. She draws on dreams of flourishing inner lives and creates visual narratives that explore a myriad of beings, quests, and the symbiotic relationships formed between these beings and their environments. Her work investigates how we construct, transform, and are transformed by our surroundings. Characterized by figurative narratives, her art embraces elements of visual poetry and magical realism. Currently, she is developing a body of work that focuses more closely on the poetics of flora, fauna, and the connections within the natural world.
"El Telar De Un Sueño" or “Looming Dreams” is a comprehensive exhibition featuring works created over the past decade. It includes a variety of mediums, such as drawing, painting, and analog collage. A key highlight of the exhibit is one of Acosta's most recent pieces, "Fuegos Fatuos," her first tapestry.
