The Magnetic Field is about the pull of opposites; self and other, conscious and unconscious, “skilled” and “childish.” Smear, scrub, splotch, scratch, scribble, play, transgress. …. I put these together and came out with the notion that really there is only love.

The Magnetic Field is a show of recent work by Berkeley artist and dreamer Dorothy Nissen at Gallery Route One open through June 24, 2012. The gallery is open WTFSSM, 3-5. You can email the artist at dorothynissen@comcast.net.
