extraORDINARY things

Four artists reimagine domestic items into vessels of memory, metaphor, and identity. Through photo essays, altered appliances, heirlooms, and keepsakes — artists Qingjun Huang, Carole Kunstadt, Cheryl R. Riley, and Rob Strati elevate the extra ordinary into the extraordinary — disrupting function and sparking reflection.
