Into the Night Sea
series of videos, photos, soundtrack, and live performance in The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures, 2013
The siren sings a lullaby, we dive into the deep starry sky; in the space between waking and dreaming… lies the Night Sea.
Into the Night Sea was made possible by an Andy Warhol Foundation funded Rocket Grants project award from the Charlotte Street Foundation and University of Kansas Spencer Museum of Art; a grant from The Seeley Foundation; an Inspiration Grant from the ArtsKC Fund; and donations from individual arts supporters.
