"Passages" by Randie Snow, May 10-31 2008
"Passages" Randie Snowmoxie DaDA presents the artwork of local artist, Randie Snow. Randie has been collecting things her entire life – a lot of them seemingly innocuous, mundane little objects with no apparent meaing. But when Snow discovered assemblage, she knew instantly why all of these things had come into her life.
Each of these objects is like a new friend - a friend that needs a new home, maybe some direction, and a new purpose. "Often we meet during my everyday routine; they're living in the middle of the street, hiding in dark little corners at flea markets, or cowering at the bottom of drawers in my house. It's not always clear why we cross paths. It takes time for me to get to know them, and it takes a while for them to be comfortable with me. But when the mutual recognition happens, it's powerful. Each one of them has a story, a history, and when the time is right, they tell me what they want to say."
And so, instead of an artist, Ms. Snow becomes a medium of sorts. She helps her new little friends find their voice and tell a new story that they've discovered - together
A public reception will be held, Saturday, May 10, 2008 from 6-9 p.m.
