Crossroads by Janet Shaw-Russell exhibition
Opening, November 16 at 7:30pm
November 16 - January 19, 2019
regular hours: M-F 8:30-4:30; Sat noon-5
Janet Shaw-Russell drew on vellum and tissue-paper sewing patterns to commemorate her former home, departed loved ones and historic events. She created anatomical bone sketches and reshaped the remnants of her former profession as an interior designer to explore the emotional lives of seniors as their bodies age, their nests empty and their careers end.
Crossroads, featuring three bodies of work, has been a nine year odyssey for the artist.
