Barbara Holmes:
The tarnished, stained, devalued, and discarded make a comeback in “The International Color Reference Series”. These pieces have been plucked-up, rescued, and recontextualized. For this show, reclaimed cultural objects that lack their original luster are paired with paint chip color samples. Ever wonder exactly what “Countrified Blue” means, better yet what it looks like? All, some, or nothing will be explained.
Marie Reich:
This work is about resourcefulness and chance. My contributions to Lo-Lustre were created with found objects, found fabric, and used clothing. Altered patterns, split-ends, and making low or no cost art are direct influences. Making art out of what I have on hand creates built-in limitations, as the supply of a certain fabric is not endless, and helps me take risks, as the materials don’t cost anything.
