Wrapped! So great to collaborate with the brilliant Kelly Reemtsen at Galleri Oxholm. Working with Kelly pushed my practice in bold new directions, and the gallery couldn't have been more supportive. Huge thanks to both!
We were surrounded by friends and family, but special thanks to Paul Cox-we couldn't have done it without you.
The show runs in Kege from May 10 - June 12, and then travels to the gallery's Copenhagen location.

Each of these stacked clothing sculptures was created in direct response to a painting by my dear friend Kelly Reemtsen. Together, they form a visual conversation—each echoing the other in unexpected ways.
Our collaborative show, Gathering Threads, opens this Saturday, May 10th at noon at Galleri Oxholm in Køge, Denmark.

So heavy! Opening Saturday at noon :) #copenhagen #køge #kellyreemtsen #gallerioxholm
This mini stack of second-hand clothing is almost ready to roll.
Collaborating with Kelly Reemtsen, I mirrored the colors of the dress in her painting.
Both works will be part of our upcoming show, Gathering Threads, opening soon at Galleri Oxholm in Køge, Denmark.

A Collaborative Exhibition.
We’re thrilled to invite you to the opening of our upcoming show at Galleri Oxholm. This collaborative project is a celebration of artistic dialogue-an exploration of how different materials, techniques, and perspectives can come together to create something entirely new.

Did you ever create a time capsule? I made this one in 1976. Not sure if it was a school assignment (related to the bicentennial?), or just a fad, but I recently came across mine. The instructions are to open it 100 years from this year. I can't decide what to do. Do I open it? Do I pass it along to my grand nephew? Do I see if the Ballston Spa Historical Society wants it? What would you do? #TimeCapsule #1976 #CharlesChips #TheSeventies #BallstonSpa
