Michelle's Upcoming Show At Longview Gallery In DC

Michelle has been hard at work in her studio these last few months preparing for a showing of her work at Longview Gallery in Washington DC. A few photos of her preparations and of her new work.

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.

We have had a lot of fun placing Michelle's columns in various combinations. They are lightweight and stack in a variety of combinations.

Jose Rodriguez - New Sculptures

I have been asking Jose to bring in a new Picasso sculpture for weeks and he showed up on Wednesday with this colorful replica of the piece in Daley plaza.

And I have a few other larger pieces that we uncovered at his home a few weeks ago when I did a studio visit.

Complex and magical. Impossible to convey its presence in photographs.
