This two-artist exhibition explores the concept of emotional travel. When
we travel, especially when we travel in intimate proximity to our travel
partners, not only do we move through physical space, but we move through emotional place. During extensive travel, emotional bonds develop that are nearly guaranteed to make intense and complex waves in the lives of these travelers.

A hand-drawn animated installation and film, Two Ways Down takes inspiration from the Hieronymus Bosch work Garden of Heavenly Delights. Reflecting on the momentary nature of life, Heit’s fantastical piece uses thrown shadows from tabletop dioramas and reflected and refracted animated projections to create a fleeting world where human-animal hybrids flit across the walls.
