One of Our Own

This 8x10 blackened steel and knitted heart piece was created by one of our own docents Matthew Glover. Entitled "My Love is a Funny Little Thing," it will be exhibited in Lawndale Art Center's Dia de los Muertos-Retablo open Oct. 22-Nov. 7.

Through a variation of a process dating back to the middle ages, he poured oil atop the steel and forged it under direct heat. The random color pattern appeared as a result. The knitted white heart, measuring 1" thick, is a sort of signature for Matthew. At almost any hour of the day, you can find him knitting away inside Blaffer's walls.



Has anyone else displayed their work recently? We would love to hear about it. There is also a link to Katherine's latest show Adaptation under the "Audio Tours" option. If you haven't already, give it a listen-it's a great interview!
