Second Sleep highlights Maria Britton’s textile-based works called Draperies, in which patterned bedsheets become expertly layered, pleated, and playful abstract paintings. Mounted on the wall in curtain-like forms, her Draperies shape liminal portals of reflection, whether obscuring the past or inviting to imagine what lies beyond.
To complement this exhibition, The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art & Naked Lady Society are hosting a Clothing Swap on Saturday, July 11, 1:00-4:00 PM. Participants can refresh their wardrobes and give their clothes a second life by bringing gently used, unwanted clothing and accessories to swap for new pieces for free!
Folks of all styles, shapes, sizes, and ages are welcome. Clean out your closet, meet other amazing people, support local causes, and update your wardrobe in an environmentally friendly way. Bring any stylish clothes you’re not feeling anymore and swap them for a free wardrobe refresh. Unclaimed clothing will be donated to local organizations…
