All 367 pieces in local artist Sara Golden’s collection will be displayed together for the first time beginning November 13 at Buckhannon’s CAC Gallery, according to the gallery’s November 12 release.
Golden spent nine and a half years completing The Stream of Collective Consciousness, a project she began as a New Year’s resolution in 2016. She based the work on words she recorded daily that year.
“Every day in 2016, I subconsciously found a word. Something inspiring; Something that everyone has thought or felt; Something universal and worthy of reflection. The word was written down for each day on the day of inspiration, and each word is the basis for my creation for that day,” Golden wrote in the gallery’s release.
Golden works in watercolor, acrylic, ink and colored pencils, and she uses the same stream of consciousness approach in her writing, including her first book, and in her greeting cards.
A free public reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, November 17, with Golden giving an artist talk at 5:30 p.m.
The exhibition runs through December 19 at the gallery, 48 East Main Street in downtown Buckhannon. Visitors can see it from 4 to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays or by appointment. Admission is free.
