52 Pick Up Installation
52 Pick Up is an installation of 53 double-sided mixed media collage pieces exhibited on the floor after being tossed into place. This piece draws from the metaphor of life being a game, the exploration of materials that have memory, and from the idea of flash cards where knowledge can be attained from a card bearing information on either one or both sides. In this case the sides of each card relate to one another either directly or abstractly through the lens of the artist.

Blocks
Collaborative Exhibit.
In August of 2007 the artists, Deborah Jones and Reina Katzenberger attended a 4-day painting workshop taught by visiting artist, professor and art consultant, Maxine Manges from Philadelphia. Maxine guided the students through an intense and illuminating process sanding, prepping and painting five-inch wooden blocks. With tenacity and wisdom the instructor critiqued, facilitated and pushed her students as she continually emphasized her credo that art is trans-formative and makes a difference. Both Deborah and Reina were greatly influenced by Maxine and the process she taught focused on preparation, abstraction, layering and revealing. Along with their other artistic endeavors they have been compelled to keep working with this process exploring the wooden block as an art form.
