My new assemblage piece "Sweet" is currently on display at a show called "Cross/Current" at Mark Arts in Wichita together with five other artists' works. We were invited to tour Mark Arts' vault and study collection, from which we each selected a piece in advance.
We were then asked to show our own work that we thought would accompany the selected work. I chose "Seventeen" by Helen Trivigno's beautiful enamel on copper piece from the vault collection. Helen Trivigno is an artist who lived from 1920 to 1985. "Seventeen" and "Sweet" are displayed side by side now. To me, it looks like I'm exhibiting my work with her beyond time and space and I feel happy and humbled. The closing date is Friday October 8, from 5:30 - 7:30pm. If you're in this area, I hope you have a chance to visit the show while it is still up.
