A note from Emily Lindskoog, gallery director and curator:
Welcome to the gallery, transformed into a Sunday Dinner feast through the arrangement of work by Bobbi Meier. Twelve guests from the Sunday Dinners series await your arrival. The unique personalities and attributes of these twelve invented family members are captured in abstract oval forms that could remind us of antique cameos or the ornate frame of an heirloom mirror. Every material is a pathway to a memory, from the needlepointed chair coverings given to Meier from a dear and gravely ill friend, to the pantyhose that stretch to hold a rapidly changing teenage body. You may be reminded of your family members, eliciting your own wide range of feelings and memories. Greet them all as we move around the table, Centerpieces for Matriarchs.
