Teresa Dunn's brightly colored works bring up contradictory emotions: the images they carry are both comforting and unsettling. Tinged with nostalgia and animated by youthful memories, the series offers a narrative seen through the eyes of a female character who is both a stand-in for the artist and her independent invention. “My protagonist occupies a space that is simultaneously somewhere and nowhere,” Dunn explains. “She exists between multiple and contradictory, realities.” The alternate universe that Dunn’s series generates is a place of polarities and poetry, rich in overlaps between revelation and mystery. -John Seed, Exhibiton Essay on Teresa Dunn
