Meet Your Neighbor: work by Andrea Avery
Opening Reception: Friday, Oct. 17th 5-10pm, artist talk 7:30pm
Show Runs through November 30th
Combining her background of traditional needlework with postmodern elements of collage and appropriation,
Andrea Avery concocts playful, nonlinear narratives. Each piece represents a personal reaction to events affecting people from her hometown; and although each piece has a personal connection, Avery aims to make these stories universal through her use of material and open ended imagery. Using idealized figures and ambiguity, she explores the “complexity of human relationships, birth, procreation, and death” by presenting “recognizable imagery and everyday objects [such as] paper dolls and their clothing” so the viewer may gauge the meaning based on his or her own experiences and associations. The result is an exploration of one’s own connection and attention to community through the collection of human stories and experiences.
