The Abject Valentine

Boston Sculptors Gallery 2019 Members' Group Show opens this week. There are over a hundred specially created sculptures from the membership following this year's theme OPPOSITES ATTRACT. 

What a perfect opportunity for fun wordplay with my series SAMPLED LIVES. For this show I've created several new ABJECT VALENTINES with recontextualized phrases found on the backs of old postcards and recombined with images for a dark romantic humor.

A couple have sold including these favorites:

I'm having so much fun I can't stop stitching with many more to be had.

For the imposters...

And the indifferent...

And the reconciled...

And for the playful there are some Mary Janes in the house too!

Click here to see the bounty of quality work that is on display by our talented members.

Take one home for your special person, or for yourself.
It's cash + carry so come early!

We have a special 10% discount for all those who are first time buyers of the gallery.

Hope to see you!

Gallery Buzz

I've been hanging around NK Gallery lately with both gallery sitting and HIVE meetups. Last Friday we had the pleasure of meeting Barbara's son Chris, an MIT post-doc. He joined us and instantly eased into the conversations and activities. We had some visitors to our shows too. In the background is one of Erica Licea-Kane's pieces... her show is very compelling and worth a trip in if you can make it before June 22.

My show, PHYLA, is in Gallery II. I'll be at the gallery this Wednesday from 3-6 and Thursday from 11-noon.  On Wed. we'll be open for APT's Martini & Masterpieces fundraising event and gallery tour... stop in if you can!

Check out this photo of a fly trapped within the world of Undercurrent... You may remember an earlier post with a fly that was trapped in HIVE... I'd like to think that the transformation of material is so dramatic that not even a fly can recognize it at first glance :).

This week we have a HIVE meeting on Thursday, June 14, in Wellesley... contact me for details if you're interested in joining us.
