Commercial product packaging and logos hold potent meaning and memory for us all. In the 1970s, the truck that now houses our mobile gallery itself delivered one of America's most iconic mid-century bakery products:  Wonder Bread.  We have repurposed this bread truck.  It now delivers a new kind of wonder.

 

The artists in Slices of Wonder create works that engage packaging design, advertising, and contemporary culture as a springboard and often a critique of these times we live in.

 

Luke Dorman has shown a consistent interest in creating humorous works using an underground comix-inspired pen and ink style.
