Come to the opening of my show! Eat free food, visit with me in person, and view 18 or so of my pieces.
Don't want to buy a plane ticket on short notice? I understand, and here are a few images just so you don't miss it entirely:
These three examples are all glass, mounted so they cast a shadow, and the shadow is part of the piece. All of these hang on the wall as if they were paintings, but they're made entirely of glass. There are some, quite different from these, which look more like paintings, and they vary from quite abstract to semi-realistic. You can see more at
www.marthakauppi.com if you're so inclined.
My work will be hanging in the Wisconsin Union at the corner of Langdon and Park, from this Friday till November 6th. Its in the Lakefront on Langdon gallery, which is on the first floor. Its essentially a wall along a hallway that connects the lobby/ice cream counter area with the Lakefront on Langdon cafe and the Terrace. Pretty much if you come in the front doors of the Union and look for an elevator, buy ice cream, or go out to the Terrace to hear some music, you won't be able to miss it.
As for the opening reception, that is this Friday from 7-9 pm, and the epicenter will be the lounge that's on the second floor and is connected to the Porter Butts Gallery. The Union has four galleries, and all have new shows, so this reception isn't just for my show, its for all four shows. People will wander around and view the work, eat snacks, and visit with the artists. I'm told I'll have an opportunity to give a little talk about my work too, which is something I love to do, while it also just about kills me in a crowd because I'm shy.
I'd love to see you there!! And if you ARE inclined to purchase a last minute plane ticket, I'll even put you up!
