Dorothy Anderson Wasserman: A Gathering of Time Travelers

May 1 – 31, 2025

This May, Gallery 110 presents A Gathering of Time Travelers by Dorothy Anderson Wasserman – an exhibition of twenty whimsical figurative wall sculptures meticulously crafted in clay, fiber, and photo transfers.

These time travelers—are they arriving from the past or entering the present from the future? Are the convex mirrors around their necks their mode of transportation? Are their stories encoded in their clothing? Why are they gathering here, now?

For artists, philosophers, and storytellers, recent ideas in physics are fuel for the imagination. Wormholes, black holes, entanglement, the role of the observer—these discoveries put into question things we take for granted, like our ideas about time, and help us to think outside our normal frame of reference.

Will time travel ever be possible? Who knows. But keeping an open mind, exploring ideas, questioning our assumptions, and experiencing with curiosity helps to create an adventurous approach to living.
