Sleepy Time Collective.

Using the elephant as a symbolic touchstone and source of inspiration, the five-person Sleepy Time Collective presents a new series of works, each designed to engage the audience through one of the five senses. As a collective, the members of Sleepy Time found a connection between the tight-knit herds common in elephant culture and the community they strive to build. The works in this show draw from--and subtly refer to--this connection without making literal or overt references. Memory and nostalgia, individual identity within a group, inside jokes,
division of labor, and community allegiance are recurrent themes permeating the exhibition.

The Sleepy Time Collective is comprised of Antoinette Ortega, Anthony Alston, Rob Brown, Nick Larsen and Caedron Burchfield, all recent or
soon-to-be graduates of the University of Nevada, Reno.
