Wrapt Attention, an exhibition featuring seven artists who use everyday objects and discarded trash to explore “themes of opposition”.

Lucinda Linderman's sculptures focus on the irony of plastic products - jugs of laundry detergent with nature-inspired scents and artificial plants that masquerade as natural.

Patricia Shcnall Gutierrez employs steel wool, twines and hair to explore the stereotypical roles women take on as mothers, caretakers and professionals.

Carrie Sieh has transformed plastic bags, VHS tape and hand-knitted copper wire into works that "alleviate emotional discomfort."






The show opened with Upcycled Fashionista, a fashion show of designs made from repurposed and recycled materials.

The judges included eco-fashion designer Kayce Armstrong and artist/designer Lucinda Linderman. Prizes were awarded and the top winner has the chance to shadow Armstrong in her design showroom in Hollywood.
