"Telling Stories
Curated by Michelle Robinson, Artist and Curator
Art and craft are means to tell stories visually. Through mythology, fairy tales, cultural commentary, dream imagery, family history, and personal narrative, art has sought to examine the challenges and mysteries of how we live; to interpret and understand our world and share those thoughts with others. This exhibition will showcase how artists are telling stories now, from abstract and non-linear to representational and narrative.es" at Shoebox Projects
