"Welcome to Everywhere" by Skye Sarenana-Velten

"Welcome to Everywhere" by Skye Sarenana-Velten

now thru April 25th

at Emerson Space Case

"Look through a lens, a keyhole, at a painting or photograph. Restrict your perspective to a single space, concentrate on the details of that space with a new intimacy. Reality is where you are when you are done looking away from where you know you're not. I'm talking about something that doesn't exist, an isolated world. Look through a lens and fall into a little dream."

Using clay, watercolors, paper, yarn, boxes, and other mixed media, Skye Sarenana-Velten has created lovely things to peek at through the windows.  Some things are tiny, and some quite large.

Here's what you will see if you look inside:

Tess Bidelspach

In March, the Emerson Space Case was decked out with the fashion creations of Tess Bidelspach.

"Focusing on texture and material, Tess Bidelspach makes wearable creations that blur the line between garment and art.  With an emphasis on the process of making, Tess begins each piece with a single material and employs unconventional hand techniques that transform it into something entirely new.  While remaining mindful of the human form, Tess's pieces elude to her thought process and allow the viewer a glimpse into her unique world view."

This show occurred with the help of Jen Erickson at Project Grow.
