Catherine Dalfort presents Inked and Adorned, print making April 9 - May 2
Opening Reception: Friday April 10, 7pm - 9pm
“This selection of works is inspired by my fascination with the
human body and with the ways in which it is adorned. Tattoos
and piercings have always evoked some kind of feeling within me.
It’s a complex mix of feelings; a strange mix of attraction and
repulsion, like a Yin and a Yang, seemingly opposite but actually
complementary. It keeps me in a sense of wonder. I wonder how
people choose and why they choose, I wonder about meaning or
lack thereof, I wonder about the pain and the pleasure, I wonder
about the social and antisocial implications, I wonder what they
were thinking or not thinking and I wonder what is going on in
their psyche. Lastly, I wonder at the beauty.”

object.
