Melanie Kluender will be showing "Waiting to Emerge" in the Frable Gallery.
These mixed media works "�reflect the change, growth, metamorphosis, duality, and balance that exists in my life. I focus on the process of change and necessity
for adaptation. I�m interested in finding balance among the chaos of everyday living. I�m an observer, an introvert, and a thinker�. I'm fascinated by the delicate point at which opposing forces meet to create balance." Melanie uses papers, found objects, fiber, paint, drawing and stitching media. "Using a variety of materials and imagery represents the chaos of life. Editing, rearranging, dissecting, and reassembling these materials and imagery with deliberate choice are a way to balance the chaos I see and experience to take back control." Melanie received her MIS degree from VCU in 2011 and has a BFA in Art Education from VCU, 2002. She is currently an Art Educator at Stonewall Jackson Middle School in Hanover, VA.
