“Small Worlds” by Bonnie Lucas
January 11 - March 2
Trotter and Sholer
For four decades, artist Bonnie Lucas has wandered craft stores in Lower Manhattan, building up an extensive collection of beads, plastic figurines, fabric samples, ribbons, and other mass-produced icons of girlhood. Then, she slices, disassembles, and reassembles these treasures into masterful pastel-hued assemblages that feel as if they were created by some kind of collective female subconscious. This outing marks her third gallery presentation in a year, suggesting she’s finally drawing the audience she deserves.
