Field Work

Go see my friend Ellie's show. Field Work: A Traveling Exhibition at the Harry Wood Gallery from
January 24th – February 4th 2011!
Master of Fine Arts candidate Ellie Richards presents her Thesis Project as a whimsical campsite filled with curious objects, material, and structures. The exhibit is made up of knock down furniture, stackable boxes and take apart structures all of which will travel in and out of the gallery on a 4x8 trailer – visit more than once to see the gallery in various states of construction!
