Information
Exhibiting Artists: David Borawski, Carla Rae Johnson, Rita Valley and Flat File Feature Artists Patricia Dahlman and Gil Scullion
You can trust a curmudgeon. They're some of my favorite people. Deep down, they're tender-hearted. Gruff, stoic, humorous, and empathic. With pencil, sewn materials, kitsch, and word play our curmudgeons explore unlikely materials to deliver their message.

Flat Files
ODETTA’s Flat Files are curated to tie in with every exhibition. Patricia Dahlman, Gil Scullion, and Rita Valley have each created a series that bring viewers into a more intimate encounter with their work. Opening each drawer in the cabinet presents interactive site-specific installations on a micro-scale that offer an element of surprise with the breadth of dimensionality in materials. Patricia Dahlman’s sewn banner will be the Flat File Feature on the main wall in the studio.
