For this summer's newsletter, I am considering one of the current exhibitions at the Philadelphia Art Alliance.  Vanitas: Contemporary Reflections is a group show highlighting the work of five artists: Candy Depew, Myra Mimlitsch Gray, Katherine Kaminski, Audrey Hasen Russell and Gae Savannah.  According to the website, "The summer exhibition will highlight examples in contemporary craft of a Vanitas theme."  This show's description includes topics that I have previously explored in my research and/or artwork, such as themes of nostalgia and remembrance, exaggeration, and distortion.  Artists participating in the show address ideas of decoration and appearance, which are parallel to comments made in my work.
