MIND OVER MATTER
Opening Reception, Friday, Aug 26th

Curated by Jorge Vidal
Since our beginnings, wood and fiber have fueled our development by filling basic needs. With these needs met, artists look for new ways to manipulate materials. There is artistry in problem solving!
In “Mind Over Matter”, these materials and methods are advanced in unexpected ways by artists Dona Anderson, Emily Barletta, Erik and Martin Demaine, Jessica Drenk, Lisa Kokin, Christopher Kurtz, Polly Adams Sutton.
Also featured: Veiled Portal, a sight specific installation created as a collaboration by the members of the Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild.
