Exhibit: Found Objects Transfigured

On a recent trip to Georgia I discovered the “Found Objects Transfigured” exhibit in the Atlanta airport. From the brochure:

“Pioneer women used leftover bits of material or scraps from discarded clothing to make coverlets…. Twentieth century artists have refashioned the quilt into an art form, moving it from the bed to the wall...”

“`Found Objects Transfigured’ includes the work of 10 studio artists who create distinctive artwork that is highly collectible and in some of the country’s important museums.”

You can find it through the end of next month in the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airport along the north corridor of the T gates 12-14.
