I can handle it


Currently on view at Green Lantern Studios, (261 High Street, Mineral Point - 608-987-2880) is an exhibition called "I can handle it!" This show and sale of handmade handbags features the work of regional artists. A variety of traditional media (yarn, wire, beads, fabrics) as well as some unlikely materials are crafted with a plethora of techniques. The resulting handbags presented range from colorful to subdued, from very large to very small, from functional to decorative to conceptual. Gallery owner Richard Moninski says: "This show is a great example of the richness of our area's contemporary artisans. They're working in the exciting place where fine art meets fine craft".

Kim Barham is showing a leather pouch with copious fringe, while Roberta Barham is well represented by a large number of machine knit and felted pieces as well as two tiny beaded pouches on decorative strings, which can only be described as necklaces. Denise Benoit's hand woven covers are in lovely woodland hues and engaging textures. Peg Cullen's small, highly decorative items appear delicate and airy, with the inclusion of many special beads. The color range of Lavonne Erickson's felted pieces range from brilliant to elegant. Nancee Killoran is showing a sculptural piece created from hand made paper, and Kriss Marion has used recycled sweaters and added needlefelted wool appliqué in energetic floral patterns. A political statement in bamboo was contributed by Ron Niemann. Lyric Ozburn is presenting "found" handbags paired with gestural acrylic paintings of them. Also on view are delightful works by Rochelle Gorgen, Christine Hulet and Sally Niemann.

The "I can handle it!" exhibit will remain on view through April 27th.
