Photos marking milestones, commissions and omissions....

Your dogs and your dreams as well as your diaries.

Change comes
Emails have overtaken envelopes.
Fabrications trump statistical evidence.
We'll explore together contradictory ways of telling stories, honoring apocrypha, erasures and deletions, soundtracks as well as silence.

The Oiseaux Sisters are two mixed-media artists whose work incorporates humor, movement and metaphor. The materials they use include paper, tin, clay, cloth, carved and painted wood, and found objects. They have created a series of figurative, often biographical or mythological figures/ cupboards which range from small to larger than life size as well as many other figurative pieces which tell stories. The Oiseaux Sisters have made and marketed one of a kind craft as well as exhibiting in many solo and group shows around the country.
