ArT @ 967 Payne presents a group exhibition of evocative art objects "unearthed" and made from renewable and sustainable materials, and displayed against the backdrop of colorful abstract paintings.

​

This group exhibition brings together the uniquely individual yet complementary works of four artists:

• Inspiring sculpted basketry by Martha Bird, skillfully constructed from willow branches and lemon grass, and inspired by traditional basket making techniques used by artisans in various parts of the world;

• A fabulous collection of wearable textiles by Lily Peterson, patched together from reused and renewed pieces of fabric;

• An assembly of sturdy yet playful pieces of ceramics by Randy Blase, hand-formed and cut from stoneware clay;

• And a series of stunning paintings by Marvin Wise, carefully selected to complement the three-dimensional objects, and serving as a backdrop and unifying visual element for the entire exhibition.
