Melody Locke: DREAMSCAPE: The Garden of Your Mind

A dreamscape garden is an imaginative and surreal space that blends elements of nature with the fantastical qualities of a dream world. It evokes a sense of wonder, mystery, and fluid reality, where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. Melody Locke uses non-camera photographic processes to create colorful and ethereal images from botanical material. The process captures the essence of the subjects, revealing ethereal and unpredictable results in shape and color.

In this exhibition, Melody unveils a collection of her lumen prints of leaves and flowers that seldom represent reality but more closely represent what you might find in your dreams. While you can quickly identify the flowers and trees in many photographs, others will leave you guessing.

Melody graduated from the University of Houston and began her long-term association with the Museum of Fine Arts-Houston Glassell School of Art in 2007. She is a naturalized Texan who has lived in Houston since her early teens. She and her husband reside in the Houston Heights and are dutiful servants to their cat.
