Multimedia arts installation @JAM:
"I Dream the Ghosts of Houses"
By Lynn Graznak
Free, on display May 5-31
Lynn Graznak makes art from the collision of disparate elements to create a multileveled dialogue between the surreal and the mundane. A multi-talented, community taught craftsperson, her work includes knitting, weaving, stitchery, felting, printing original photos on silk, doll making, 3D collage, wood and metal construction in combination with original poetry and fiction.
“I Dream the Ghosts of Houses” is Graznak’s first foray into video art, including elements projected onto textiles.
JAM free public media arts programs are made possible in part through a BETTER PLACES placemaking grant through the VT Dept. of Housing and Community Development.
