Habitat Fracture: Sandra Burns and Christina Day

Dec 4 - 25, 2009

Opening Reception: Fri, Dec 4, 6 – 10 pm 

PHILADELPHIA – Tiger Strikes Asteroid is pleased to announce the opening of its December two-person exhibition, Habitat Fracture: Sandra Clark Burns and Christina Day.

From the essay by Megan Carr:
“These works by Burns and Day create new interior spaces, while strongly referencing what Day refers to as the ‘domestic sphere.’  The pieces in Habitat Fracture subvert nostalgia and allude to something else, something more.  Though both artists reference individual experience, that experience is elevated through the deconstructions and reconstruction of the familiar.”

Sandra Clark Burns is an artist currently living and working in New Haven, CT.  She holds an MFA from Yale and her work has been exhibited throughout the United States, including a solo exhibition at The Northampton Center for the Arts (Northampton, MA), and group shows at Jenny Jaskey Gallery (Philadelphia, PA), Real Art Ways (Hartford, CT), and the Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts.
