A fresh harvest

When the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena was offered the use of a large space on North Fair Oaks Avenue, it selected six artists to share it with. The artists were given studio space, and each spent five to eight months working at the space.

Now the fruits of their work, an exhibition titled Armory Artists in Residence, opens in the Armory’s new Northwest space -- a former nursery -- on East Orange Grove Boulevard.

The artists, Lorraine Cleary Dale, Joseph Herring, Nancy Kyes, Patricia Liverman, Peter Melville and Carrie Whitney, have created indoor and outdoor art installations. One installation -- dishes and tableware wrapped in colored tape -- begins inside a gallery and spills into a trellised walkway. Another piece is based on years of mail received by the artist in his studio.

In addition to their work, other installations from previous Armory Northwest shows will continue to be on display, including work by Kireilyn Barber, Matthew Furmanski, Emily Hopkins, Susan Kanga, Melissa J. Manfull, Denise K. Seider, Meriel Stern, Ruth Szold Stern and Pat Warner.
