Door3 Presents: Bathtub Marys of Somerville by Cathy Piantigini

 

Join us on Thursday, September 19th, from 7 to 9 PM for an opening reception for the photographs of local artist, Cathy Piantigini.  This body of work examines front yard religious iconography in the Somerville area.  Mary and Jesus statues are often combined with old bathtubs, half-buried in the ground, to create diminutive and personalized grottos.  Piantigini’s work stylishly documents these little monuments, paying homage to their aesthetics while at the same time probing their peculiarities.  Light refreshments will be served at the opening.
