The alzheimer's fantasies

About The Alzheimer's Fantasies

The Alzheimer’s Fantasies, an exhibition of 30 colored drawings and digital prints, is currently on display in the Main Gallery at the Bank of the Arts. This series was created by Michael Dorsey using his 5+ years experience as a caregiver for his wife, who has Alzheimer’s. His exhibit explores their relationship as well as personal memories and history. Dorsey developed his artistic style upon finishing graduate school and living in Mississippi. Mississippi writers such as Eudora Welty, Walker Percy, William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Beth Henley inspired Dorsey by writing about the way they lived and what they experienced.
"I took that principle to heart and followed its path." said Dorsey.
​
Craven Art's Executive Director,  Jonathan Burger, interviews Michael Dorsey for the New Bern Magazine. Read more about The Alzheimer's Fantasies here,
