1st Saturday in Asbury Park NJ March 2012

Went into Asbury Park for 1st Saturday to see the art galleries and get a bite to eat with some friends....

We got a late start and when we got in Asbury we could smell all the great scents coming from all of the restaurants. We tried to find a place to eat, and we tried and tried (should  have made  reservations... next time we will know...) we tried so many places and then landed at  Moonstruck.....we were very nicely surprised... never have been there.....had a great meal, good drinks,  good company,  then to see some art....nothing better....

What an interesting exhibit name.

This piece was so interesting and yet so simple......made with monofilament line with pieces of packing tape adhered to the line and wrapped around screws drilled into different pieces of wood at either end of the room.....the shadows that were cast and the way the light reflected off the tape... simply amazing....

these  2 paintings were so detailed with the most gorgeous colors....then with tiny holes in the little shapes...such time, and patience....

each one must have taken weeks to complete.......

this exhibit interested me...I love to crochet...these were crocheted from plastic bags to look like sea dollies....

they were large like the size of  a pizza pie....

they were attached to 2 walls and wrapped into the corner...

this was very interesting....looked so much like the real thing.....

amazing that they were made of seed pods.....

kind of weird using your hair in your art..... but why not!!!!! its free, its part of you...I think it is kinda interesting...our friends didn't like the idea.

look at this made from hair.............

loved this too!!!! sequins on threads...suspended from threads.....and monofilament....

wish you could see this in person......you can see every line......

love..............

wish I took the information on this artist......

this was one of the pieces from the last show "The Sum of their parts" it freaked me out last show and I was mentioning it to the curator and he said he still had them behind this wall... There they were....FREAKY!!! I was explaining them to my friends and said how strange and beautiful all at the same time....so when the man said they were still around I had to snap a picture.....they were these beautiful heads with amazing eyes attached to a deer like body with very tiny thin legs....
