Still time to catch the funny and provocative “The Intimate Collection” — sewn works and photographs that consider “sex, death, skin, bones, undergarments, intimacy, loneliness, destruction, healing and humor” — from artist Kathryn Parker Almanas.
“I play with how we recognize ourselves in textures and materials,” Almanas notes in the artist statement about The Intimate Collection. “I make use of pleather, satin, lace, panties, and bras to evoke thoughts of their intentional usage. Sewing, pinning, fastening act as means of healing and holding togetherwhat seems to be falling apart.”
