On Thursday, March 8, 12:30- 1:30 p.m. artists Petra Carroll and Rae Goodwin will discuss their work in Enigmatic Remembrances, a two-person show on exhibition in Transylvania University’s Morlan Gallery.
Working collaboratively, Carroll and Goodwin describe the ideas that motivated their latest work. “Exploration of memory is the exploration of the unknown. Each time we walk down ‘memory lane’ our recollections diverge and vary because we view the memory of the past from a different point in time. Our perception of the past shifts and changes as we shift and change.”
