Craftland Presents New Solo Show From Chicago Artist

Craftland Gallery presents a solo show with select works by Chicago artist, Kathy Halper. The exhibition includes embroidered drawings from the "Friend Me" series based on Facebook photos of youth paired with found texts meant to explore the contemporary teen's experience through today's public technology.

Primarily a painter, Halper explores and connects to this complex age group in a new-found medium for her, which adds a maternal touch to compositions depicting teens seeking to distance themselves from their parents. As a mother and artist, Halper processes this distinct moment in time where teenagers' questionable transgressions can be broadcast immediately for the world to see, rather than as a story to be told from the safety of adulthood.
