On View at Joy Machine: Collin van der Sluijs’ 'Wanderland'
A portmanteau of wander and wonderland, the title of Collin van der Sluijs’ solo exhibition evokes the artist's continued devotion to imagining a vast, dreamlike ecosystem.

See more than 25 of these works through August 22 at Joy Machine in Chicago.
