Ghosts and Hopes at Clarksville’s Customs House Museum through January 14th, 2014
November 8, 2013
Clarksville, TN – “This body of work is not simply about the Civil War. It is about an emotion: the layered, all-encompassing emotion that accompanies a life lived. It is about being passionate enough to fight, compassionate enough to grieve, honest enough to be open. It is about ghosts and hopes,” states Dane Carder of his paintings currently hanging at the Customs House Museum.
