For "Phantoms," Barbara Glazer Rosenblatt created a variety of soft sculptures that are at once whimsical and menacing. Trapped mice, sardines bursting from their cans, and flying skeletons are all rendered in fabric, some with elaborate stitching, beading or painted detail. Anthropomorphized butterflies with their chrysalises, moths, and hybrids of real and imagined sea creatures and forest animals invoke ancient myths, contemporary metaphors and, even a bit of wordplay.
Metamorphosis, the transition from one state to another, be it animal to human or innocent to threatening, is an overriding theme. These small- scale, yet intricate, objects convey the intensity of their required labor, a comment on the meditative power of art making.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through July 2.
