The Light, Whispers and Dreams exhibition features a collection of mixed media artwork created by visual artists from Northeast Asia who are currently living and producing artwork in the DFW area. The exhibition uses drawings, paintings, textile art, and other media to explore narratives, concepts, and techniques that are tightly connected to the experiences, culture, and sensibility of each of the artists. Through the use of a variety of styles and media, the six participating female artists from Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan express their thoughts and views on spirituality, communication issues, family history, and the world of dreams and ideas.
