To quote the immortal words of Cyndi Lauper, “Girls just wanna have fun.”

Do you need an excuse?

Three years of a global pandemic,
An exhausting 24/7 news cycle laden with shock & awe,
Attention-seeking politicians battling to be the most outrageous and inept …

Leave your politics, pontifications and doom and gloom at the door. If this show has an agenda, it is to explore the FUN in FUNctional work.

Don’t look for deeper meanings, or social commentary, or political innuendo. Just allow yourself to experience the whimsical joy in these works. Use your imagination to tell stories about where each of these pieces belong in your home. Revel in the textures: knitted, knotted, twisted, and coiled. Absorb the intense colors, juxtaposition of shapes and visual humor.

It’s time to celebrate creativity and joy. Time to have fun.
