About Weirdo's Exhibition "Diamond Minds"
"Diamond Minds" is an exploration in dreams and aspirations. Its been said that dreams are nothing more than the downloading of the days events mashed into a surreal timeline to create imagined experiences while we sleep. Other views of dreams are that they symbolize our thoughts and aspirations for the future. Others just know that there is something else in our universe we can't explain and our dreams can be the path to knowing more about ourselves and our potential. In this show Weirdo's idea about dreams comes through in symbolism, and stylization of the fractured way we view dreams and how they never seem to begin or end at in any particular way... they just exist in an alternate reality. this show has many layers both visually and in its meaning. It is the hope of Weirdo that, in this show, the viewer discovers their own diamonds within themselves.
