Vicki Hartman

Aug 6 - Sept 19

Opening Reception: August 6, 6-10pm

Vicki Hartman's Common explores humanity within the relationship between the individual and the whole. She examines our shared experiences and the separate lives we create and lead. We choose carefully what we share and what we keep private. What interests her is that which is common. The home is a symbol of privacy and protection. The individual stands for each of us; ambiguous & potent.
