Her lecture is titled: Mining for Meaning: How do ideas manifest in unexpected ways? Where do outrageous inspirations come from?
This lecture is a twofold path—images in a steady stream of chaos and beauty, and concrete design advice based on exercises to open your head and expand your thinking. The exploration is part inspiration, part bag of tricks and part acknowledgement of that elusive balance between struggle and grace.”
Following the lecture January 26, at 7:00 p.m. there will be an Artist’s Reception for Dunnewold at the Etudes: A Daily Practice – solo exhibition of her work at the Hite Galleries in Schneider Hall, nearby Ekstrom Library on the University of Louisville’s Belknap Campus.
