Join us for an opening night celebration of new work by local artist, Danyelle Dover. On display will be a collection of Ms. Dover's 2D paintings and drawings, as well as her 3D mixed media pieces, that function both as utilitarian lighting, and unique sculptural form. All pieces will be for sale to the public. As an added bonus, Ms. Dover will be offering one of her prints as a prize in a drawing, open to attendees of the event! We will be providing light snacks and drinks, too! Come join in the fun!
"In Italian, the phrase “una linea” literally means ‘one line’ or ‘one figure.’ In both my figure-based works and abstract pieces, lines of continuity disguised in complexities- and even deformities- are prevalent. Within these lines, shadows and light are created; stories are told and thoughts conveyed. With one line of focus, each one stitch of thread, every one smudge of paint, my own work becomes inseparably entwined with the stories of my ancestors and my peers; a beautiful tapestry of otherwise solitary pieces sewn together in the One line through which they originated. My works are created using a compilation of re-purposed materials, family heirlooms, and layered surfaces, as well as drawings and observations from my own personal life- often featuring depictions of or inspired by relatives and loved ones, portraying their stories alongside my own."
