Update on Vanessa's work (sorry about the font changes - can't figure it out!)

Three of my new sculptures are going to the SOFA expo in Chicago next week with Option Art Gallery.

"In its 15th year, Sculptural Objects and Functional Art is the world's foremost fairs of contemporary decorative art and design. With 100 international galleries and dealers from 16 countries, the fair also features special exhibits by internationally renowned art museums, arts organizations and artists as well as an extensive lecture series."

This exhibit runs from November 7 to 9, 2008. Opening night November 6th, from 7 - 10pm. Festival Hall, Navy Pier, Chicago. http://www.sofaexpo.com/

Here are some pictures of the pieces that are going:

"Lux Operan". 2008. Flame worked glass, blown glass, crystal rhinestones, fabric, wool, flock, copper tubing, pvc, metal and battery operated led's. 15" x 20" x 20"

This sculpture (above) pulsates with light! Adam Brown helped me with the lighting aspect of the piece.

"Collaborating with Her Story - Incarnation I". 2008. An early 1900's unfinished anonymous embroidery project on raw linen, flame worked glass, antique newspaper clippings, antique stencil paper, raw silk, thread, linen, wire, metal and down. 38" x 36" x 8"

This piece (above) started with an unfinished anonymous embroidery project from the early 1900's that I bought at The Little Shop. I brought it home, "finished" it, and turned it into a sculpture. It is the beginning of a new series I am starting that will be based on finishing unfinished textile hobby projects.

"Enomeno". (It means "Unite" in Greek). 2008. Flame worked glass, blown glass, crystal rhinestones, reflective glass, fabric, flock, wool and pvc.
