The Slowest Moving Things: Creatures of Habit
Kendall Marsh
Jan. 13th - Mar. 4th, 2012
Reception: Fri, Jan. 13th, 7-9pm
“The Slowest Moving Things: Creatures of Habit” is a distinct collection of original artwork created by award winning artist Kendall Marsh. Using familiar objects to convey complex meaning, Kendall's paintings reflect the dichotomy of progress versus meditative appreciation of the now. Her observations of the natural world blend the frustratingly habitual nature of slow-moving invertebrates with the genre of vanitas, themes that imply the transience of youth and the often nebulous designs we have on our future. The juxtaposition of these themes predicates the frozen moments, the reflexivity of a frame in time and the complicated irony of a creature that lives only a few days.
Parties & Special Events
Planning a party for kids or adults, corporate team building, girls night out or just for fun? Plan your party at our studio! We will work with you to design a great party or team building experience with your choice of painting, sculpting or wheel throwing. You will come away with amazing individual projects or a larger group project! Check our parties and special events page for more details.
Security Blanket
The "SOS Security Blanket" is a community project and conceptual art piece made of petroleum based plastics. It is Mercedes' intention to combine fine art and domestic crafts to allow people to express their concerns about the Gulf oil spill, current energy policies, and to be part of the dialog about how we can work towards a more sustainable future. If you would like to create a piece for this project, please click here for more details.
