PORTENTS

Artwork by Adaline Lewis Tucker

Artist Reception Friday July 26, 6-8pm

Light refreshments will be available as well as a cash bar.

 
 

The show will consist of ceramic weapons, platters, and a few figures that are articulations of the artist's own mental fiction. Literature and art history blend continuously and occasionally objects present themselves as significant. Exploring these synchronous qualities is the path and the destination, along with hoping the viewer can start formulating a new narrative of their own.

Portents will run from July 2 - July 31. Stop by during regular hours to see the show.
