Karen Starosta-Gilinski: Cloud 9
Jun. 9 – Aug. 19, 2012
Opening Reception: Fri., Jun. 8, 6 - 9 pm
Karen Starosta-Gilinski is a contemporary artist that takes provocative textured objects and alters them; she starts to break them apart or cut open a plush toy and put it together with another object until it becomes visually satisfying and strong enough to express the unique look of a character or situation. The results are whimsical, humorous, and at times unsettling works of art.
