Perfect Memories Is an exhibition of witty and elegant paintings by Iowa artist John Dilg. Dilg's works are metaphors of objects from his mid-western flatscape. From his body of work landscape motifs have evolved into pictographic renderings of the flora, fauna, large skies and unique geometry of the Midwest landscape. These simple iconic forms are the peculiar souvenirs of the artist's experience of the prairie. They are artifacts imbued with the physical residue of events and so become perfect memories.
