You Better Do 'Yo Thing

Mermaids.

Mustaches.

Antlers.

Bird Planes.

If it wasn't so perfectly Dada one may suspect that I am trying to connect a grouping of disparate words/images. Well, guess what? Suspicions confirmed.

The connection is The Bakery's next artist - Liz Wolf.

Liz is a Chicago-based artist who creates fragmented narratives of peculiar people/things using text and image. She incorporates printmaking, painting, and drawing into her works that are often on handmade paper that she makes. Sometimes, oh sometimes she even dips bits of beeswax on them. I hear it's straight from the bee's behind. (confirmation pending)

Here is her website for a little peek of things to come.

Here's a short interview with her about her work at a different gallery that I love and that regrettably has recently shuttered its doors.

The opening is this Friday, February 5th from 6 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at the Bakery Gallery. We're located at 1330 E. 12th Street in Davenport, Iowa. Liz will be there. She wants to answer your questions!

It'll be fun.

See you then.
