Laura Boles Faw and Nancy de Y. Elkus
Please join us for the opening of Between the Sheets in the Adobe Books Parlor on Saturday, November 21, 2009 6-8pm
Between the Sheets is an evolving installation by Laura Boles Faw and Nancy de Y. Elkus in the storefront windows of Adobe Books from November 15 to December 11, 2009. Each artist occupies one of the two storefront windows and responds to several texts she has chosen for artistic, historic and psychological significance. The chosen texts serve as the departure point for the artists to visualize the ever-expansive imagination. It is the text itself, the printed word, that makes the sentence, the story, the essay. In the end, the texts become aggressively, sculpturally transformed, mimicking the wanderings of the individual creative mind.
