Here are the gallery shots of All Dolled Up! I think theylook lovely and serene in the gallery setting of dramatic lighting and all white walls. There's an air of joy and mischief in the room as well. I just know that when the lights go off there are some plushie shenanigans taking place (or, at least I hope so!)
As with most interests in life, if you dig deep enough, you will find
there is an entire sub-culture full of fellow enthusiasts. Through the
All Dolled Up show, Vincennes University has given me an opportunity
reach out to a select group of my heroes from that softie-making
community. I have chosen these artists to showcase their work based on
their sense of whimsy, imagination, design sensibilities and refined
craftsmanship. I have been amazed and inspired by each of these
artists, and I am thrilled to be able to exhibit along with them. I
hope this show captures a child-like sense of wonder and awe in everyone
who views it.
