Pine
pine = wood + design + craft + nostalgia

Chicago Art Department proudly presents the group show Pine, with artists Bridgette Buckley, Stacy Peterson and Sighn.  The show will feature wood sculptures, paintings, text-based work, illustrations, lighting and textiles.

Bridgette Buckley negotiates the space between art, design and craft to create objects that are useful and pleasurable.  She believes the objects we surround ourselves with should be active in our everyday lives, to evoke memories, help us imagine our future or bring us closer to natural or human-made craft.

Stacy Peterson’s illustrations, photos and paintings are full of architecture, design, childhood toys and family traditions. From the Milwaukee Art Museum to Swedish Horses to colors reminiscent of the 70’s, each pattern is a thought, a moment and a memory.

Sighn's painstakingly hand-carved sculptures deal with very emotive and expressive phrases that are rooted in deep nostalgia. His typography aims to access the roots and fundamentals of language, thereby achieving simple, graceful expressions of emotion.
