PLAY MAKING: MAKING SENSE OF THE WORLD THROUGH ART AND PLAY

Leverett Crafts and Arts welcomes three local artists for this inventive and dynamic exhibition. Whitney Robbins, Bobby Brown and Joan Green share a playful, spontaneous, and improvisatory aesthetic. Each of these artists use things discarded, saved, gathered and gifted in the art they create, and play is an important part of their process. The work includes drawings, paintings, collage, wood sculpture and multi-media masks.

transcendent ink

JAYCE NEAL • EMET ARON • JASPER ALEXANDER • PASCALE JARVIS

United in medium and varied in perspective, each artist’s work calibrates the spirit & the body in alignment with the ecological world. The slow process of printmaking enables them to push back against values of ease and convenience, navigate alienation, and assert their position as firmly rooted inside & belonging to the ecosystem rather than merely observing it. The goldenrod, ferns and frogs make such sweet company.
