We are going to be the lucky host of a front window art exhibit designed and built by Jeff Klarin and Rebecca Johnson of Bughouse Art+Design.  Jeff and Rebecca create alternative expression in art objects and home décor.

Bughouse offers a range of products from quirky characters silhouettes to eccentric home accessories, photographic wall décor, and steampunk jewelry.  Their home furnishings include a chandelier made from hypodermic needles and coffee tables that emulate record albums.

Two window displays will be featured at Handmade; Decadence and Hope.  Decadence juxtaposes a lush display of royalty with objects of indulgence.  Using the vernacular of pop culture, Decadence utilizes classic portrait engravings as wall hangings serving as the specter of power looming over a banquet scene of excess.   As a pastoral counterpoint, Hope displays a demented smiling heart, an extra-terrestrial dog, and a hot dog who has sprouted limbs that cascade down the grill of a hot pink BBQ.

When: Saturday, May 30th, 2009
Time: 12pm-4pm
Where: Handmade Galleries

Join us in welcoming Jeff, Rebecca, and these unique displays as we reflect on the fear and hope in the world, all while casting a wry smile.
