Crooked Critters Unleashed November 1st

“Lana, a self proclaimed ‘plushinator’, creates illustrative works with fabric. They are soft sculptures with an attitude. From plush that fit in the palm of your hand to the larger than life, each has been injected with a bit of twisted humor, a dash of whimsy and a whole bunch of cotton fiber. Her pieces are not cuddly throw pillows, most hang on the wall, fixed in place, while others are in fact content to sit on your couch. This exhibit showcases Lana’s new hand-made and one-of-a-kind works.  Crooks’ Crooked Critters opens November 1st 2008 and will be up for viewing until November 30th at A.Okay Official in Chicago, IL.”


* November 1st is the opening reception 6pm-10pm
