Think Small

"Small Potatoes" is our next show, opening February 24, 2012 with a reception 6 to 10 pm.  We're collecting a variety of unconventional works in all kinds of styles that are primarily small in scope, but that generate a lot of mystery and weirdness when placed together in one room.  Interspersed with the actual art will be serendipitous "finds" from a local thrift store.  Sad, lost knick-knacks and trinkets.

Close your eyes and think of what it might look like if you emptied a toy-box and mingled every toy into a frozen parade.  Or the aftermath of an aesthetic tornado.  Or a beautifully rendered Hoarder's episode.

We'll also be showing some of the smaller items and ephemera Raymond collected in his toolboxes alongside the small sculptures, drawings and paintings.
