Liz Gardner is displaying her second show at the Olive in June. She has an installation of fun, stuffed popples upstairs. The custom-made creatures-ranging from a pod-shaped infant to a round, furry figure the size of a small parade float-are the artist's variation on the children's toys from the 1980s and a manifestation of the personal mythology she has built around them. In the downstairs gallery, Liz is displaying her two-dimensional mixed media works. The material Liz uses in her art often serves as its own muse. A new series of quilt-resembling pieces brings together fabrics, magazine photos and other materials with colorful, zig-zag stitching. She has also completed collages with sheet music (she is a classically-trained violinist), sculptures using only hair and wire, and designs based on anatomical slides and microchips. Meet Liz at the Opening Reception from 6:00-10:00p.m. on Saturday, June 3rd. Musical guests Ghosty will join, and the artwork of Joshua Olinger is featured in the Kid's Corner. The Olive is open from 11:00a.m-6:00p.m. daily.
