“correspondence”
by Judith Feist
August 23 – September 30, 2010
Gannon Gallery, BSC Library
Reception: Thursday, September 30, 4:30 – 6:30 p.m.
“A correspondence is a kind of love affair … It is with our own epistolary persona that we fall in love, rather than with that of our pen pal.” — Janet Malcolm
Feist works primarily with printmaking, and also works with two-dimensional mixed media such as drawing, collage, and hand-stitching. Her work is heavily inspired by the interactions experienced within her everyday life, and the people that are involved within those interactions.
The BSC Library will observe these hours over the Labor Day holiday weekend:
Regular hours will resume Tuesday, September 7, at 7:30 a.m.
Note: Access to the ODIN catalog and Library Databases available 24/7.
Have a happy, safe holiday weekend!
