About the Artwork
Dream Journey is a drawing by Native American artist Susan Stewart. She used black paper to symbolize night, and spiral, arrow and triangle forms as “universal symbols” for our dreams. She notes, “There is an energy that I am tapping into and expressing in this piece, a spontaneity that I like to include in my work. I see this piece as whimsical, but energetic too.”
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Vancouver Public Schools.
