Cocktail Hour

During the month of December, our featured artist is Shannon Dunn, and her collection “Water Rites.”

Enter Platte Furniture, and ask a Sales Associate to escort you to the gallery, located in the East downstairs level of Platte Furniture. 

Platte Collections Art Gallery is dedicated to serving the fine art community in Colorado Springs, and also features resident artists as well as rotating local artists.

Artist’s Statement: “Water is a vital element that is woven through the fabric of our existence. Water is an integral part of what it means to be human.

Through painting and sculpture, I explore water in all its forms.

From the flow of our oceans to the moisture within our air, through the frozen landscape of glacier.

Humans are a part of this fluid ecosystem, too.

From the tears in our eyes to the blood in our veins.

The birth of creation started within water just as human life forms within the salty sea of our mother’s womb.

The symbolic and spiritual significance of water is not to be overlooked. We baptize with water.

We ritualistically cleanse. We bless with holy water.

Water was turned into wine.

Water is pure and sacred.

The same natural cycles that happen in our world happen within us, too.

Drought and flood.

Freeze and thaw.

Ebb and flow.

Birth, death…rebirth.

We are a part of nature not apart from it.

My artwork highlights the fragile beauty of our world and our place within it.” -Shannon Dunn
