When Dreams Collide is an ongoing study investigating timely issues reflected in societal transformations including the status of women. Positioning of artists. And native peoples displaced from their ancestral lands, including Shinnecock Nation taken by the Town of Southampton (1859), to Sandrow’s chance encounter with a white Padovana cockeral on Hills he is named for (2006) to now. From the locus of Sandrow’s open air studio Shinnecock Hills.
Sandrow’s study frames the challenges and compromises made by Shinnecock to gain shelter. And her own leaving beloved New York City for a commitment to this project in Shinnecock Hills as an artist in residence.
