FOUND - New Work Based On Found Materials

We are installing a new show next week based upon the found materials collected over this past summer. Michelle writes: "LAND FILL - This show is about using materials that have been discarded. One less thing tossed into the trash heap that has become our landscape."

Join us of an opening cocktail party on Friday, October 26, 2018 from 6 to 9pm. We are hoping to fill the gallery with thought provoking objects that reflect out interest in reusing found and discarded materials.

Michelle Peterson Albandoz - Four New Panels

Michelle dropped of four new panels to the gallery earlier this week. Each panels measures 17.5"h x 17.5"w x 2"d. Patterned and modular, mix or match, the possibilities are endless. There is an optical quality to these pieces that not only brings to mind quilting, but also aspects of digital culture.
