Press Releases 
Talley Dunn Gallery is pleased to announce Daydreaming, an online exhibition of contemporary photography that explores themes of artifice and materialism through imagery that is at once fantastically ethereal and distinctly mundane. The meticulously crafted works of Sharon Core, Ted Kincaid, and Rachel Perry query distinctions between truth and fiction, photography and other media, the original and the facsimile. Daydreaming invites us into a world of dreams that continues to resonate into our waking hours.

Perry’s photographs in this exhibition are from the series Lost in my Life (2009-2012) in which the artist transforms unremarkable relics of quotidian life into whimsically captivating forms that caress and engulf her body. Perry’s work is held in public collections including the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Baltimore Museum; and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Archives, Boston. She has had solo exhibitions at institutions such as the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum; the Drawing Center, New York; and the Kunstmuseum Bonn, Germany.
