A Weekend in Pittsburgh- Part 2 of 2

The Society for Contemporary Craft...


                                ...is currently exhibiting a show entitled, "Mindful:...



                                          ...Exploring Mental Health Through Art".



                                                       Themes of resiliency...





                                                           ...compassion...



                                                         ...and mindfulness...


                                            ...are explored using various media...


                                                  ...in this wonderful space.









                      I was especially taken with the figures created by Grace Kubilius...     



                            ...made from burlap, canvas, string and found objects...





                                        ...with Meredith Grimsley's textile piece...



                                                            ...on genetics...





                                                     ...and family dysfunction...



                                             ...and with Alison Saar's evocative...



                                                       ...'Pret-a-Porter'.
