Link and Pin Art Space will present Carly Weaver: "Past Things," a solo exhibition presenting a new body of work in mixed media, graphite, and plaster.
Although she is best known as “The Grackle Lady” with her prominent paintings of grackles, this show highlights work that is more personal and expressive. "Past Things" features a collection of 60 x 60-inch panels with intricate drawings and vulnerable diary entries accompanied by a new series of delicate plaster cast sculptures.
The show creates a partial visual timeline of the artist's life through memory, nostalgia and loss, hoping to invite the viewer into a collective history of '80s childhood, tape collections and more.
The opening reception will feature a live music performance by Mossery, beer provided by Zilker Brewing Co., eats and delectables by Rachel and Jen of Shaking and Baking, kids' (or adults’) craft table making glass dome dioramas inspired by the sculpture in the show, and more.
The exhibition will remain on display through May 4.
