Out of the Ordinary
Continues through May 11, 2008
Objects that are seemingly mundane or inconsequential become art in this series of works, created exclusively for the Children's Gallery exhibition by John Kirchner, a contemporary artist living and working near Washington, D.C. Kirchner has exhibited his work nationally, creating sculptures and installations primarily from the materials of everyday life.
