MEND: love, life, & loss
Start: 1:00 pm
End: 1:59 pm

This exhibition at the Halsey Gallery explores the paradoxical nature of the idea of mending--be it a human who is sick, a heart that is broken, or a profound grief over a death. The patch is often stronger than the original--hence the paradox. The artists in this show probe the dualities of strength/fragility, hope/despair, joy/grief, pretty/nasty, dainty/brutal, etc. using fiber as the key metaphor. Each of these ten nationally known artists employs the yoking of opposites as an expressive vehicle. The works in the show contain at least some sort of fiber--string, hair, thread, yarn, etc., and clearly demonstrate the enduring strength of the mend.
