An Oasis at The Institute Library

So thrilled to have my installation work in this spectacular show, now at The Institute Library Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut.

For this show, called Oasis, I created a piece titled, Luminous Effulgence:  Seaside.  My intent was to conjure warm ocean ocean breezes for meditative contemplation.  The circular forms overlap to manipulate light and shadow, relying on gravity to create tension to hold the work in place.  Each hanging form is made of a combination of man made (nylon) and natural (rocks scavenged from the Long Island Sound in Connecticut).

It's a pleasure to show this work along with so many other talented artists!  You can see my work in the background of this photo, featured in the New Haven Independent, along with work by John Hatch titled Tea Time with Marcel DuChamp.

Recycle 2023 at Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition

***UPDATE:  Click HERE to view a fun 3-D Tour of the show!!!  You can see my piece in the first frame.

I'm so happy to be showing work again in Brooklyn!  This show highlights artwork created in the re-use genre, and it was a thrill for my Plastic Yarn (plarn) Picnic Blanket to be chosen for exhibition.  More than 700 artworks were submitted for consideration, with just over 100 selected to be included in the show.

Plastic Yarn Picnic Blanket, 2023

I attended the opening for the show.  It was a blast to be a part of it all.  Such a cool vibe in an amazing historic warehouse on the waterfront in Red Hook Brooklyn.  Here are some pictures from the show opening:

 

The Brooklyn Paper reviewed the show and you can read it HERE.

The show was also featured on Fox 5 New York and you can watch the video HERE.  You can see my piece at 1 minute 42 seconds through 1 minute 44 seconds (about two-thirds of the way through).  

And as a final note, the entire show is featured on Artsy, a New York City-based online art brokerage.  You can click HERE to see all of the works.
