Opening Recpetion D.C. - Resident Artist Mei Mei Chang's "61" Installation Based Exhibition - Honfleur Gallery - Friday, August 5, 2011

I came across Mei Mei Chang, a mixed-media Artist (Painting, Installation, Photography, Paper, and Drawing), when Go-Mama-Go was still open on 14th Street, NW back this past winter. I was interested in her pieces that explored use of a sewing machine with other mixed media. I am curious to see what her show this Friday has in store called "61". 61 being the days she will be staying in residence at the Anacostia art gallery Honfleur Gallery.

Here is a preview of the Installation courtesy of Mei Mei Chang herself:
