Alissa Eberle: Electric Caverns

Opening Reception January 17 6-9 PM

Inspired by show caves, motel rooms, nostalgia and parallel universes, Electric Caverns is a neon installation that reflects on time dissonance, paranormal experiences, otherworldly roadside attractions, and the intersection between man made and natural worlds. Comprised of 7 separate hand made neon glass artworks, faux rocks, a looping sound piece, mirrored horticultural flooring and up-cycled seasonal decorations, this installation invites reflection on the eeriness of passing time, malfunction, and the meeting between the manufactured and natural landscape. The constructed space is designed to exist between dimensions, celebrating and augmenting the strangeness of the natural world.
