Painted Bride:
An exhibition of recent paintings by Anna Breininger.
September 3rd-October 16

……if this your mother knew is an exhibition of paintings exploring the relationships between heirlooms, domestic memories and the decaying effects of time. Her work is made through a process of layering wax, fabric and other materials; then peeling away at the final surface. The destructive effects of time and exposure to the elements are built in, allowing the exploration of the imperfect relationships we have with these precious things.
