CURRENT EVENTS

The idea of Gold Mountain, a mountain that might contain gold, brought settlers to the Western United States in the late nineteenth century. This idea of the mountain as a materialistic opportunity to be exploited conflicts with the idea of the mountain as a spiritual force of nature to be appreciated as nature be. This exhibition will explore varied interpretations of Gold Mountain as an idea and as a place. The imaginary landscapes of Gold Mountain exist to calmly inspire the observer’s visionary senses.
