The Goddess and the Feast


I am so excited about this show at Smith Farm Center. I was up till midnight and then back up around 6:30 trying to get my curator's statement finished. Here is is:
The Goddess and the Feast
Luana Kaufmann and Tina Lassiter
What I love about this show, beyond its beautiful imagery, is the juxtaposition of two artists who are using the same media - collage- in such dramatically different ways.

Luana's prints are pure theatre, a world where the stage is filled with deliciously surreal characters and witty visual puns. Created from treasured found images her art weaves a delightful story that is as unlimited as the viewer's imagination.

Tina works in a rush of emotion, there is a sensuous physicality she expresses in her art. In her work, abstracted lines, jewel colors, rich patterns are combined to create the actual image. The image of Woman.
The opening is a week from tonight!
Yesterday I also went by SFC to meet with Jennifer, Pat and Robyn our artists for the Nov/Dec show. Great discussion and sharing of images and ideas. Also saw the roughed in new gallery space - how sweet will that be!
