SUMMARY:The Traveling Waffle House Interviews
DESCRIPTION:The Traveling Waffle House Interviews\nBy artist Sheryl Bassman\nOn view: Mar 21 – Apr 18\nOpening: Sat\, Mar 21 | 3-5pm \n\nExhibition Statement:\nI have had an obsession with the Waffle House and its ageless presence for as long as I can\nremember. I spent the majority of my life waitressing and traveling around the country and have\nhad the greatest experiences meeting people from all different walks of life. I’ve learned that one\nwears many hats as a waitress working with the public. You are a therapist listening to\nstrangers’ problems; a salesperson selling items on the menu; a mediator between the customer\nand cooks when the food comes out wrong; a housekeeper keeping the restaurant clean and\nsanitized; a cashier responsible for bills and payments. All of this must be done with a smile on\nyour face. Despite all this\, serving is commonly looked down upon as a mediocre job and not a\ncareer – something one does when they cannot find any other work.\nThrough words and portraits\, I give recognition to each waitress/waiter. Each portrait is\nillustrated in ballpoint pen that waitress/ers use\, and completed on bold yet simple black and\nyellow Waffle House colors and is accompanied by a short story of what they shared about\nthemselves to me.

SUMMARY:The Ephemeral Waltz of the Butterfly
DESCRIPTION:The Ephemeral Waltz of the Butterfly\nBy Gina Lucia\nOn view: Mar 21 – Apr 18\nOpening: Sat\, Mar 21 | 3-5pm\n\nExhibition statement:\nOur bodies by construction imitate objects in nature that keep us alive. However\, we are as ephemeral as the leaves on a tree and as we evolve\, change form and respond to environmental changes\, we shed our leaves\, our skin and transform\, wither and die. The very essence of our existence is as ephemeral as our world\, our planet and all of the living things in the eco-system. Human kind is a part of the earth as are all of the creatures\, insects\, birds\, plants and other organic matter. Though we believe that we matter more than all of other living matter\, human kind is nothing more than organic matter. Organic matter resembling all other life forms: the roots of trees resemble our lungs\, like waterways and estuaries flow for plant life and other life to thrive. Small ventricles of life that expand and contract bring air\, food and water to our bodies and nourish our organs. As larvae transform into caterpillars and caterpillars into butterflies and the seasons transform into one another there is a rebirth of matter and a transformation that imitates nature and nature imitates man\, all fragile\, beautiful and ephemeral; such is the ephemeral waltz of the butterfly \nAbout the artist:\nLucia’s mixed media collage work fuses commercial and fine art techniques. Hand drawn sketches are combined with found objects\, photography\, hand-rendered typography and presented in a thought-provoking photomontage. Inspired by music\, Surrealism and the Freudian concept of free association\, personal experiences and heartbreak\, everyday encounters with objects people and places\, the current social and political climate\, her collages are spontaneous juxtapositions of unlikely things. She incorporates elements of pop culture; viscera; nature; animals; insects; and other eclectic ephemera into her work. The harmonious commingling of both digital technology and fine art techniques has allowed her to redefine and refine her art.\nWebsite

SUMMARY:Art Pop-up: Recent Works by Joe Kossow
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-day art pop-up showcasing the recent works of Joe Kossow.\nArtist statement:The source material for these works are photographs that date from 1860-1940.  I spend a long time editing the photos (changing their scale\, eliminating certain elements\, working with aspects of dark and light) until I have recomposed the works.  I draw as accurately from the edited source material as I can\, then take liberties with the brushwork to emphasize elements of light and dark as needed.  I love the imaginative narrative inherent in these drawings of wrecked ships\, old harbors\, town life\, people praying or people at a café.   \nAbout the artist:Joe Kossow received a Master in Fine Arts degree from The American University in Washington\, DC in 1982\, where he studied with Ben Summerford\, Robert D’Arista and Jack Boul. In 1983 he co-founded the Washington Studio School with Lee Newman\, Carlton Fletcher\, Jack Boul\, Susan Yanero\, David Holt\, Jo Weiss\, and Katie Murray. Joe taught at the Washington Studio School and local Washington area colleges for 8 years. He was awarded the Elizabeth Greenshields prize in 1983. His work has been shown in the DC area\, Pennsylvania\, New Jersey\, and in Paris and Nancy\, France.  He lives and works in Princeton\, New Jersey.Learn more about the artist via his website here.
