Soft* : A Plush Art Show featuring a line-up of 6 artists (Steff Bomb, Danita, Kelly Denato, Heidi Kenney, Amanda Spayd, Mariangela Tan) and their contributions to the world of plush art.
Show dates: March 18 to April 3, 2011
The tradition of plush toys has a long history dating back to ancient rag dolls, turn of the century teddy bears and even taxidermy. Regarded as *comfort objects* these hand-made pieces are typically sewn from cloth or other textiles and stuffed with plush material. Contemporary approaches to this medium have elevated conventional plush toys from mere playthings to elaborate mix-media sculptures.
Through this unified art form each artist has put forth a small collection showcasing their own distinct styles.
All pieces are now available online at myplasticheart
