Michael Thompson: Dreams in Flight
We are thrilled to announce a new body of work by acclaimed Chicago artist Michael Thompson.
In addition to an exciting group of fine art kites and mixed media paintings, "Dreams in Flight" adventures to the realm of ceramics. The cultures, times, and places that Thompson has inventively explored for decades carry forward in a new direction. His "Memory Jugs" are a kaleidoscope of ceramic shards, objects, and toys he has collected from the banks of the Thames, Kyoto, Turkey, and Mexico.
