Bear Disguised as Bird, by Toby Fraley (clay, wood, and acrylic finish)
Ghost Squid, 30-foot soft sculpture by Daniel Baxter 3 glass mosaics by Adalgisa Bosonetto
Abandoned Western Psych Series by John Flatz, last 6 of a series of 16 (full series on exhibit)
You have to see this squid in person. It is huge at 30 feet, and has a cyclopian black, glass eye that you can see yourself reflected in. You can also see Dan's careful hand-stitching in fine, black thread.
Also in this picture is just a small section of John Flatz's photo series of the abandoned Western Psychiatric Institute. All 16 are on display in the exhibit. His images of the empty rooms with pastel, deteriorating walls and the curling layers of pealing paint are eerily beautiful.
This is just a snippet of what's in the exhibit. Please stop by June 3 to see the rest.
