My Submission: Foot In The Door 4, Minneapolis Institute of Art

I hope everyone is submitting their work and will be part of the state’s largest art exhibition! Celebrate opening night of “Foot in the Door 4,” the wildly popular exhibition held every 10 years. Rub elbows with hundreds of Minnesota artists and view thousands of submissions in this wonderful art event. Wear your most fab footwear for their “Best Shoes in the Door” Flickr gallery. Bring and donate a pair of new socks to the Saint Stephen’s sock drive and enjoy live music by Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles.

6 – 9 p.m.

Below is my submission that you’ll have to see in person to appreciate the finer layers and detail. The outer wire shell is a three dimensional skirt cut from an early 1900’s metal cast.  I know you are probably wondering why I would have such an item but I bought it a long time ago on Ebay–I liked the character of the material.  It’s laced together with a very delicate hand-stenciled dyed ribbon.  Behind the wire skirt you can read bits and pieces of a poem by my friend Zac Stafford. Lot’s to see and discover up close!

No art will be for sale at the exhibition. I hope to see all of you there.
