Second Chance to See the OZ Exhibit!!!


'There's No Place Like Home!' This theme, which has resonated in Terry Rooney's work for years, has finally led her down the yellow brick road to OZ. As she began the first several pieces for the Oz body of work, she noticed that she kept painting pictures of the Oz characters from the knees down. She realized that she was channeling Toto and painting from his perspective! The general public is invited to bring their 'ruby slippers' (any type of red shoe will do!) to the reception, and help celebrate the OZ story by participating in an installation piece during the Art Walk Easthampton. The artist has also invites the general public to come as their favorite character. This exhibition will also feature the collection of OZ memorabilia from Dee Michel of Northampton. Follow the red footprints to Nashawannuck Gallery to the opening of OZ: from Toto's point of view.

Tess Mathewson, starred as Dorothy in the Starlight Youth Theater production of the 'Wizard of OZ' this Spring. She will be performing 'Over the Rainbow' at the exhibition of 'OZ: from Toto's point of View' during the July ArtWalk in Easthampton

"My work is an exploration of the relationship between food and identity. My aim is to question our automatic responses and unrealized prejudices towards a certain group of foods I call the "American Diet". I hope my work playfully challenges the viewer with bizarre juxtapositions calling attention to the absurdity of the unconscious, predisposed "meanings" and value systems we project onto the things that we eat. I hope that these pieces will one day serve as a document of the food and "food products" of the our time and how we relate to them." My work is a synthesis of the values of Pop Art and Dada in the tradition of by Eduardo Paolozzi and (to a lesser extent) R.B. Kitaj.

'Accidental Beauty' -I try not to think about the picture I'm trying to get too much, I want to live in the moment and just let the shots find me. That's why I call it Accidental Beauty, because I think the pictures find me.
