Opening Reception, Arts Council of Greater New Haven Members Show 2016

Hello ~

With one holiday behind us and another one fast approaching, these truly are busy times!

The reception for The Arts Council of Greater New Haven Members Show was well attended.  It was fun to see a wide range of styles and mediums on display, including sculpture, pen and ink, photography, and watercolor.  My piece was nestled in an area of the gallery that showcased more modern, colorful works, as you can see below:


I used caps from bottles of water, juice, and milk to create this work.  I found the wooden frame in our garage, a cast off from the previous owners of our house.  My idea for this piece was to use only found objects in and around the house, things that most people use and throw away.  I hope to inspire people to take a second look at what they consume and what they throw away on a daily basis. 



The show runs through December and I hope to visit at least one more time!

Until Next Time,

Marsha
