Susan Lenz
Exhibition Dates
August 16 – October 7
Lenz connects art to memory through the use of objects such as vintage gowns, quilts, and old photographs. Words we may connect to these old objects may be recycled, antique, used, or vintage. Lenz’s purpose in using these “old things” is to make legacy visible to the gallery visitor. To form the foundational element of her artwork, Lenz uses the time honored and passed down skill of sewing. Through each stitch she meticulously adheres each object to her work and arranges them in artful and captivating mandalas.
