Artist Quotes - Anne Bossert


“I hope that my efforts of time and attention to create these reflective and participatory objects by hand offer a beautiful antidote for the frenetic atmosphere in which contemporary society functions.” - Anne Bossert
Right on Anne! The mass-producers have taken away from the wonderful hand-craftedness that we should be reveling in! Art Galleries are a great way to get ahold of unique objects to surround you in your daily life. We always have Anne's work on display in Translations Gallery.

Adrienne Outlaw's Vessels


Our newest artist, Adrienne Outlaw creates work in a variety of unique mediums. We showed her Fecund Series in the exhibition, Under the Skin last year. These pieces consisted of small sculptures that protruded from the wall, made out of different materials like wax and fibers. When you look into them, you see objects like bugs. Although somewhat creepy, they were a hit at the exhibition. A new piece is Vessels, which is an artwork that basically molds to the installation space. The best installation is an immense 12' x 6'. The smallest is one tile, measuring about 10" x 10". Materials are brass mesh, wood, and paper. We love the idea of customizing art!
