Wrapping in, Wrapping on, Wow, Wrapping!
Curated by: Ema Ishii
Opening Reception Friday, April 3 6-8pm
Show runs April 1-7

A collection of works that contain body, object, and even air. Our works show the personal understanding and expression of the word “wrapping”. Wrapping is everywhere. Our body is wrapped in clothing, we are wrapped in the air, and our planet is wrapped in the galaxy. Wrapping can be beautiful, decorative, functional/non-functional, or part of an art making.

Group Show: "Stories from the Woods"

2008-09-25T14:52:00.000-07:00

"Stories From The Woods" investigates a fascination with the natural world. The showcased artists explore a contemporary reinterpretation of nature, while simultaneously drawing from past folklore and classic painting. Through stylized, representational, sculpture, narrative paintings, and whimsical installation pieces by a group of invited, regional artists, "Stories from the Woods" seeks to transform the space into a platform for these fantastical narratives.

Show runs October 3 - 31 2008
With a Reception on October 3 from 7 - 10 PM
Artists: Bonner Sale, Christine Buckton Tillman, Emily Nachison, Emily Slaughter, John Bohl and Annie Gray Robrecht

Check out my new write up on Apartment Therapy.

"If you've been lucky enough to see Emily Nachison's work in person then you know just how stunning it is. Part of this is the size - no that's not a typo, the piece above is 11 by 12 feet. But more than just scale, the power of Emily's work comes though her detailed and intricate layering of folk-lore imagery..." Read More
