Opening Reception for Julie Maynard: Absence October 14th, 4-6pm Julie Maynard comes to us from Frederick, MD.  Statement for “Absence” Many of the pieces in this show come from a series called “Mass Produced Pigeons” that looks at how things cut from the same pattern develop a stubborn individuality.
