"Delicate Bits & Pieces" Jill Galloway Sherman and Cindy Petruccillo April 15, 2011

"Delicate Bits and Pieces" pairs the work of Cindy Petruccillo and Jill Galloway Sherman, two photography faculty members at The Art Institute of Philadelphia, displaying images that reveal the personal practices of the artists with work exhibited as drawings, digital collage, and photographic murals. The exhibition will be on display at The Art Institute of Philadelphia's 1622 Chestnut Street Gallery from April 15 through July 22, 2011. An Artists' Reception open to the public at no charge will be held on Friday, April 15, from 5 to 8 pm.

Artist's Statement: Jill Galloway Sherman
Included in the show will be both pencil drawings and digital collage work. Whimsical collages of tea and panties and line drawings inspired from imagination and memory act as my own visual diaries. The pieces are created from a place of production, routine and everyday life. See more at http://www.gallowayandsherman.com

Artist's Statement: Cindy Petruccillo
My recent works confess my dependency upon personal rituals, vices and superstitions. I am creating visual descriptions of these concepts; all of which may control, push, motivate, threaten and permeate my daily process of living. Using pretty, colorful and even child-like simplicity, I am masking obsessive behaviors in polite displays, unlike the intensity in which these habits manifest themselves in my mind.
