Darbury Stenderu: “Reconstruction”
Show dates: June 14 to July 5, 2007
Artist Reception: Thursday, June 21st, 5pm to midnight.

CoCA is pleased to present “Reconstruction”, new art quilts by Darbury Stenderu at the Beach Club.

Stenderu’s new series of unique quilts are beautifully crafted with layers of elegant, hand painted fabrics. Sometimes, as in “Scary Face Sampler”, her imagery directly evokes invented mythological characters. In other works, like "Au Medallion” Stenderu seems to evoke the effects of spells being cast by those characters. These quilts are created both as utilitarian objects (much like the American folk art/craft of old) and as works of fine art. Can they be both? Come take a look and decide for yourself.

CoCA is located at 6413 Seaview Ave. NW in Shilshole Bay Beach Club on Ballard’s waterfront (three doors north of Ray’s). Open free to public. Gallery hours are 9am – 5pm weekdays and until midnight every Thursday with new music + beach bar & grill
