Origin
late Middle English: from late Latin dualitas, from dualis (see dual).


Among the ideas that Kim Matthews and I have been working with is DUALITY.  Obviously, there can be a series of plays on words, taking us off into commentaries on human nature, spirituality and vice.  But we discovered, with the amazement that only non-math-nerds can muster, that if you place a dot in the center of each plane of a regular polyhedron, you will define another shape within.  Too Cool!

Platonic Dualities: Put it on your calendar!

Have you put this on your calendar yet?
Kim Matthews and I are very excited to have this oh so brief show!  We have been bouncing ideas off each other for the better part of a year...and then this opportunity arrived late this winter!  Boy did we have to go into High Gear in our studios!
We both are showing lots of new artworks  and really hope to blow this opening reception out of the water.

Let's show Robbinsdale how we do it!  Let's work together to make a HUGE impact and a HUGE opening reception.  Come join us and celebrate our exhaustion!

The gallery is on the left just before the railroad tracks, pretty much across the street from the Robbin Gallery and Historical Society.

There is a smallish parking lot behind the gallery and ample street parking.
