<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><SPAN>About Murmuration: The sound of one’s own voice is rarely heard in isolation. While people talk to themselves from time to time, they are rarely listening with a reverent ear. Murmuration exists as a call to reconnect with the self on a deeper level. To give the inner voice the sacred space it deserves and the isolated attention required to feed the spiritual that resides in all of us. This exhibition is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.</SPAN></DIV>

Prior to and during college Logan has taught music in various environments including his first dance studio. Initially a tap dancer, steeping himself in the language of other art forms has given him a passion for metaphor making, and this fire has been used to bridge an understanding of music to everyone from little 3 year olds to 65 year olds, dancers, musicians, actors, hobbyists and professionals alike. </SPAN></DIV>
