Nothing to be afraid of – Dan McCann | Opening Reception

This show reflects fears found in everyday life. As a child, I felt like I was afraid of everything. My worst fear was fear of the dark. I also did not have the best self esteem, and often felt that things were my fault and that I was in the wrong. This all relates to my art in the present time as an adult. My art often has an inward looking darkness to it. I see art in everything, especially found objects, including in the natural world. I describe my art as having arbitrary order, which to me means everything used in the final art piece comes together in some kind of order or thematic way.

Inspired by The Book of the City of Ladies by Christine de Pizan (originally published in 1405), local artist Hannah Charlton honors the heroic ladies of the 15th century through her painted illuminated manuscripts. Through her artwork, Charlton celebrates the accomplishments of these women and uses traditional medieval illuminated manuscript techniques to bring their stories to life.
