IN DREAMS I FLEW OVER THE RIVER
In Dreams I Flew Over the River
My lifelong fascination with the Susquehanna River has been escalating lately. It’s been showing up in my dreams. With this work I am exploring the phenomena of flow and undercurrents, and examining the juxtaposition of the river to the adjacent woods and farmland.

About the Susquehanna: Archaeology of the Lower Susquehanna River reveals that American Indians had utilized its resources for thousands of years. Around 1550 AD, the people we know as the Susquehannock moved from higher up the river to the Lower Susquehanna Valley. The Susquehannock were Iroquoian speakers and shared many similarities with the Iroquois in New York. Learn more here.
