Seeing Green
Seeing Green –a petite exhibit 

October 10, 2008 - February 8, 2009

A “petite” exhibit by Staten Island based artists. Seeing Green is an installation of original 3-D and 2-D works of art representing the artist’s community response to the themes of organic forms, nature, green energy, green living, recycling, conservation, and environmental concerns.   
 
“We asked artists to submit works – to start an impulsive visual art “eco-discussion” a subject embraced by many local creators. The tiny 5” x 5” size limit challenge will add to the green theme presented in the Making Things Go (bicycle) exhibit this summer, and now with leaf storm,” explains Ms. Matyas. 
 
The result is an eclectic installation of playful shapes, unusual landscapes, and conceptual statements.
