NEWSPAPER REVIEWS

'BOOK' OF DREAMS
...Several of the pieces urge viewers to actually take part in the art. For instance, a giant human ear emits an amusing conversation between two ear mites, providing one is adventurous enough to make contact with the sculpture. "For those that explore there's a payoff," she (Dar) says, with a mischievous smile, "In life there's a general analogy there."

KIDS FLOCK TO UNUSUAL GALLERY DISPLAY
The intent is to get youngsters interested in reading, says Churcher. "If children don't read, their minds stultify...if they don't use their imaginations, they're not going to develop them," she said.

"I wanted to create a world unto itself. A complete environment".

JUST IMAGINE was a hit at the Kamloops Art Gallery, where it broke all attendance records. In three weeks, the Kamloops gallery attracted more children than it usually does in a year.
