Alexis K. Manheim

I just returned from a trip that came on by surprise. During my midnight drive I was thinking about this piece that I made back in 2008 titled “Unexpected Journey.” The title was inspired by an old book I have of the same title about the incredible surrealist painter Remedios Varo.

I haven’t looked at this piece in awhile but am happy that it resurfaced in my consciousness. It still says what I needed it to say. With art making, that is not always the case.
