Big Shadows
Art by Lisa Alberts
November 9th thru January 7th in the Aviary (1st floor) - Opening reception November 9th from 5-8pm
Artist statement:
This work is personal. It’s about me and it’s about my friends and maybe you’ll find it’s about you too. In collaboration with the weather, my children, and sometimes my garden, I make large scale backyard sunprints on old bedsheets which I then tear up and use to create soft sculptures.
Process is central to my work and often feels like private performance. These works are an investigation into anxiety, motherhood in America, the way we hold big feelings in our bodies, and the objects of comfort used as antidotes to our anxieties.
Come view the whole collection at Commongrounds! Join us for the opening reception Thursday, November 9th, 5-8pm.
