Warped And Wept - An Examination of Masculinity and Tears
Woven into the warp and weft of human experience is the experience of crying. Social constructions of masculinity have the ability to modulate that experience, and the way that it's perceived, both inwardly and outwardly. "Warped and Wept", a multimedia performance created by Costa Kazaleh Sirdenis, Matthew Daher, and Michael Malis, explores the intersection between crying and masculinity.

Light, Color and Life
"The adventure of painting opens my eyes to the world in the best possible way. Looking for the warmth and coolness of light, composition, and trying always to be aware of the importance of values and perspective. I love a piece that tells some sort of story." Christine Wardwell's work will be at Lawrence Street Gallery for the month of October.
