We hope you had a great 4th of July holiday. Continue the celebrations by coming out for this Second Saturday Art Walk in Astoria. We are opening a show of works by sculptor Suzanne Long, in addition to the continuing "Duality" exhibition of new paintings by Emily C. McPhie .
Suzanne's work is about memory, as a way to add a visual narrative to her thoughts. "My work is about melancholy and humor, politics and storytelling. Sometimes I don't know what my work is about, I just have a compulsion to create, I let my hands lead, at other times my mind. Sometimes I make the same piece over an over, like learning the words of a song, practicing. I repeat it again and again until it is a part of me, then I can release the concept with an understanding of it. My work teaches me who I am, it defines the edges for a time."
