“Skip – 5 senses” (installation view)
Sprague Gallery is pleased to announce Skip – 5 senses. Skip (HMC) is a poet whose works explore themes of growth, memories, and transformation. On view is their poetry presented for the first time in a gallery space.
The collection of five poems spread across the gallery uses bodily senses, objects, and viewer participation, through which memories of growth are simultaneously constructed and altered. Viewers are invited to take a piece of caramel and pop the bubble wrap.
