8 ROOMS New Work by Sally Clegg

Friday, June 27th marks the opening of 8 ROOMS, new work by local artist Sally Clegg. The Sanford

Gallery at Zea Mays Printmaking will host a reception from 6-8pm.

The show will be comprised of 8 prints—8 Rooms—created by the artist in Zea Mays Printmaking's

non-toxic studio facility, as well as large collages built from dozens of proofs created in the making of

those original images.

The exhibition conveys the experience of hypervigilance: a heightened state of sensitivity to one's

environment where ordinary spaces and their contents are perceived by the brain in a contorted way.

The artist brings the viewer into each room, allowing them to experience real and imagined spaces

through this lens. Then, in the collages, the rooms are manipulated once again and become

something entirely different.
