Internationally acclaimed fiber artist Cindy Hickok uses the freehand sewing machine as a paintbrush to render amazingly precise images. The focus of the show is the Culinary Art Series, which Hickok describes as "an imaginary musuem visit at lunchtime, when works of art inspire thoughts of food."
In 22 small-scale pieces created over a span of four years, Hickok pokes lighthearted fun at herself and master works such as Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, Manet's Olympia and Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by fancifully pairing classic subjects with contemporary comfort foods--French fries, cookies and milk, and a hot fudge sundae.
