Janine Brown’s "Tear of a Wallflower" has been acquired for the permanent collection at:Museo Area Archeologica Arte Contemporanea. Piazza Garibaldi. Cisternino, Italy. 72014.
What defines Craft versus Art – and does that division have meaning? Nine artists display creations of glass, clay and fiber, substances traditionally considered “craft materials,” but worked with such talent, imagination, and skill that the resulting pieces are unquestionably works of art.
BE A BODY. or its doppelgänger. [There is power in numbers.] is unabashedly self-centred and unapologetically self-conscious. Through an intersectional lens, artists Crystal Heiden (American Fabrics) and Christine Negus (London, Canada) present a screening of contemporary, international video works that use “The Mirror Machine” as a feminist tool. With a focus on identity construction and reflection, the camera is used to navigate ideas of selfhood. Putting performance at the forefront, these works reframe femme self-portraiture as not simply “The Aesthetics of Narcissism” but intrinsic to self-perception and preservation. As a whole the program sings “ME, MYSELF, AND I” at the top of its lungs, and invites you to do the same.

This exhibition is about communicating the myriad layers of emotions connected with the process of creating. With the power of color and texture on a two dimensional plane, the artist has created a visual metaphor for life’s many dichotomies. Lesley looks forward to your visiting the gallery to explore and enjoy these works for yourself.
