File this one under, "Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic." Or not. You never know with CoCA. Regardless, the show sounds fabulous. And be sure to check out the site: http://www.darburystenderu.com/quilt_frameset2.htm [I've included my fav below...]

Qult_sampler_bear CoCA is pleased to present “Reconstruction”, new art quilts by Darbury Stenderu at the Beach Club.

Stenderu’s new series of unique quilts are beautifully crafted with layers of elegant, hand painted fabrics.  Sometimes, as in “Scary Face Sampler”, her imagery directly evokes invented mythological characters.  In other works, like "Au Medallion” Stenderu seems to evoke the effects of spells being cast by those characters.  These quilts are created both as utilitarian objects (much like the American folk art/craft of old) and as works of fine art.  Can they be both?  Come take a look and decide for yourself. 

CoCA is located at 6413 Seaview Ave. NW in Shilshole Bay Beach Club on Ballard’s waterfront (three doors north of Ray’s).   Open and free to the public.  Gallery hours are 9am – 5pm weekdays and until midnight every Thursday with new music + beach bar & grill.
