Kathryn Gauthier Solo at Woman Made March 1

Kathryn Gauthier: Object as Subject Opening Reception: Friday, March 1, 6-9 p.m. Artwork by Kathryn Gauthier "Functional objects have a story to tell. Every noticeable sign of wear, every thought that preceded action related to it, and every time it was physically handled the story grows. I believe that as an object is used, a bit of the soul of the user is imprinted forever upon it. This series is a way of reaching into that part of myself that yearns for intimacy and understanding by exploring the psychological and emotional subtext of functional objects." -Kathryn Gauthier
