The Left Behind at Fountain Street Fine Art

Fountain Street Fine Art presents

The Left Behind

Stacey Piwinski

July 17 – August 15, 2015

Reception July 17, 6-8pm

Stacey Piwinski’s mixed media paintings incorporate discarded objects as a way to invoke the memories of   the things, and people, that we hold dear. “As someone who enjoys the accumulation of things, I often wonder why some objects are so precious to us while others are so easily discarded,” Piwinski comments. “While preparing for my wedding, I have been thinking about how our energy and intention are carried through many of our possessions.” By working with the objects, memories, and energies of what is left behind, this show is actually more about inclusion than exclusion. 

Visual Alchemy

The show Visual Alchemy will be on exhibit through January 25th.
Juried by Elizabeth Devlin, Founder of the FLUX Boston art blog and independent curator this show includes many diverse artists from all over the country.
