Delectable Island

Opening Reception

8 - 10 pm


"Do you want an adventure now, or would you like to have your tea first?"

Please join us for a celebration and the unveiling of "Delectable Island," an art installation by me, Stephanie Brachmann.

Inspired by the creatures and imagery of J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan," this shall be an atmospheric display for innocent passers-by to view and be enchanted. There will be critters, lights, festivities, snacks, delights!

We would love to see you there.

Get this!
We are also celebrating the 1-year anniversary of Emerson Space Case.  Twelve magical months of this!  Michael Jackson passed away the day we installed the first show. Neverland indeed.

"Of course, the Neverland had been make-believe in those days; but it was real now, and there were no nightlights, and it was getting darker every moment... "

"Delectable Island" is in progress...

So the Sea Cave is gone from the Space Case; we've said our tearful goodbyes to those mysterious cave walls and eels.  That reminds me:  Does anyone know what to do with a giant papier mache whale's head?

It's now my turn to create some ridiculous objects, which I've been diligently doing.  This next installation (by me, Stephanie Brachmann) is inspired by the imagery and creatures from J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan.  There are a giant bird and a crocodile involved; also a nest, a papier mache tree trunk, and lots of fabric, branches, and yarn.

Here's a sneak peak at some critters and textures:

Tomorrow night, join us for a performance!  In fact, it's the first performance Emerson Space Case has ever had the pleasure of hosting.  As the audience watches from the sidewalk, the performers will perform inside the space.
