“Curioser & Curiouser”
Sue Hadden’s Folksy Figurative
Sculpture. Perhaps the most apt catchphrase for Sue Hadden’s creations would
be Alice’s cry - while smack dab in the middle of Wonderland - “Curiouser
and curiouser... (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite
forgot how to speak good English).”
Hadden’s figurative
folk-art sculptures conjure up a laundry-list of adjectives: witty &
whimsical, magical & mysterious, meticulously hand-crafted & lushly
painted. Come see for yourself what all the buzz is about and don’t be
surprised if you hear a fellow onlooker exclaim, “Toto, I have a feeling
we’re not in Grants Pass anymore.” Sue Hadden’s work is rarely seen in
her hometown. For one week only she will display a concise cast of characters
populating home economics’ own carefully constructed dioramas.
From April 4 through April
10 only!
