At the Periphery: New Works by Claudia Mastrobuono
Super Ordinary Gallery
Reception: 6 to 10 p.m. January 10
Claudia Mastrobuono, a current RedLine resident, weaves traditional fiber techniques and mediums with a contemporary sensibility in her new works. Her statement: “I decorate the ordinary, allowing the viewer access by using familiar objects and nostalgic materials. My work deals with personal conflict between the desire for domestic foundation and the need to fulfill personal goals. I struggle with my role as a woman, daughter, partner and artist. I translate this fight visually, creating noise with material and pattern.”
