Claudia McGill: "Second Life" Solo Exhibit, Jan 4-Jan 29, 2012

Exhibit Dates: January 4 – 29

Opening reception  -  January 6, 2012, 5-7 PM

Hi everyone!

I know everyone is busy with holidays now, but January is right around the corner and maybe you’ll be looking for something to do when it arrives.  How about an art exhibit?

My collage and clay work will be on view in an exhibit sponsored by the Swarthmore Friends of the Arts  from January 4 to January 29. The location is the Swarthmore Borough Hall, 121 Park Avenue, Swarthmore. The opening reception will be held Friday, January 6, from 5 to 7 PM.

The title of the show is “Second Life” – which has a couple of meanings for me. The first is the fact that through my work, I give a second purpose to materials that undergo a transformation or might otherwise be thrown away.

The second is the fact that making art has led me into another life, one that I hadn’t anticipated, but that I thoroughly enjoy.

In the exhibit, I plan to show collage work, including some pieces made especially for the show, and a selection of clay tiles.

And, I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support of my “Second Life” this year and every year. I appreciate all the kind comments and all the wonderful people I have met through my artwork.

Directions and exhibit hours are available at www.swarthmorearts.org.

Thank you! Claudia McGill
