I've re-configured this installation in various ways over the last few years-all unique.

Artist Statement
The
concept behind “Quantum Continuum” involves the many theories given to
the existence of many, or parallel worlds, both in the disciplines of
Quantum Physics and Metaphysics. They range from solid research that
can deliver actual theory-proving data, to the more esoteric work of
Lewis and Kripke, which has a tendency to sound like the conversation of
a couple of 1960’s era grad students on acid. Popular media
occasionally tries to produce their own version of these theories, from
an episode of “Lost in Space” that scared the pants off me when I was a
kid by showing characters on the program walking into another world
through a special mirror portal, to the recent tv series “Fringe”.
Whether any parts of these theories eventually prove to be true remains
to be seen, but with further developments in the world of Quantum
Physics, we are constantly reminded that the more we discover, the less
we know.

Wood Works: A Regional Exhibit, curated by Abraham Tesser, is in the venue's other gallery, running the same time slot, and it is engrossing! It features the work of over 35 regional woodworkers, turners, and fine artists, including three from Tennessee-Craig Nutt among them.
Some of my favorites:
