Mnemonic Sampler: An Abecedary by Chandler O’Leary

October 15, 2009 at 8:00am — November 11, 2009 at 4:00pm

Tacoma resident and artist Chandler O’Leary’s work will be showing at Pacific Lutheran University’s University Gallery in Ingram Hall from October 14 through November 11. Mnemonic Sampler, an abcedary of monoprints, collects and files our household icons, gathered together like the stitched and quilted samplers of our mothers and grandmothers. The hand-stitched alphabet enumerates our trappings, shuffling our collective domestic inventory like the old card game of Memory. Each symbol is familiar; each object is Ours, whether we actually possess it or not. Together they sketch out a Home--real or imagined; longed-for or spurned; past, present, or future. University Gallery Hours: 8am-noon, 1pm-4pm, M-F. More information on the show can be found at www.plu.edu/~soac/.

Location: Ingram Hall University Art Gallery
