"Eyepiece," a new miniature installation by Jennifer Strunge, opens this week.

OPENING RECEPTION THURSDAY NOVEMBER 6
6PM - 8PM!

MINSTALLATION GALLERY
CREATIVE ALLIANCE AT THE PATTERSON
3134 Eastern Avenue
Baltimore, MD

"Eyepiece" will be on view November 6—December 20.


An indisputable phenomeon the DIY art/craft scene, Jennifer Strunge's
goofy, stuffed Cotton Monsters are instantly recognizable and have
been shipped throughout the world. With Eyepiece, her creatures
inhabit the space like a dark corner of your imagination, peering back
out at you. A Baltimore native and practicing artist and puppeteer
since preschool, Strunge's work begs to be touched and doesn't take
itself too seriously. She works almost exclusively with recycled
cloth, giving old clothes, blankets, and linens an entirely new life
as they are reconstructed into comforting (if bizarre) quilts,
monsters and soft sculptures.
