Reclaimed Preview: Emi Slade

Wow! That is all I can come up with when trying to describe Emi’s contribution to Reclaimed. The “frame” for this piece is actually the top of a clock that was found in the trash at Eastern Market. The creature inside is hand sculpted and painted and must be seen in person to be full appreciated.

Reclaimed opens this Friday, October 21, 6-10 pm at Rivers Edge Gallery and runs through November 18.

Reclaimed Preview: Kristin Barr

Check out piece by Kristen Barr did for Reclaimed. It must have taken her forever to cut out each page by hand. I also love that you can see the wording of the book behind the piece.

Reclaimed Preview: Chad Davis

We’re so happy that Chad Davis agreed to be part of Reclaimed. Chad created these two intricate collaged pieces made out of old wood, nails, and assorted metal pieces. Good Stuff.

Reclaimed Preview: Angela Duncan

Angela Duncan is one of our favorite hand letterers and illustrators. While she was visiting her Michigan hometown from LA, she came across an old painting at her mom’s house. Soon, the peaceful fall scenery was overrun by giant bunnies with toothy grins. Every time I look at this piece, I seem to find a new bunny hiding someplace.

Reclaimed Preview: Marian Short

Printmaker Marian Short came up with a genius was to use found objects, or in the case images in her piece for reclaimed. Using rubbing from old headstones located at Lodi Cemetery to create this beautiful piece. One would not guess that the subject matter of this piece has such Solomon origins.
