Opening reception June 7th from 5-7 pm. “I have finally figured out why I have always loved hardware stores & why my studio is always full of “stuff”. Having lots of hardware stuff around me, such as nuts & bolts, metal & plastic parts, rubber tubing, wire, hot glue, epoxy, nylon line, dowel rods, and household paint along with rocks, branches, found objects and – of course – clay, gets my inspiration started. My thoughts explode with “what if,” & this show What’s Indie Head is the result of those “what ifs”–Hank Hall
