November Open House, Open Studios

Starting October 28th, come see Crystal Stokowski and watch how she intertwines her psychedelic screen prints with monochromatic pyrographs. Stokowski's patterns are formative to her experiences with the sea and the transcendent mysticisms of Oceania. This new work is inspired by Crystal's surf travels of the Pacific ocean and her part time residence in Oahu, Hawaii. This installation will involve repurposed and found materials as well as video and soundscapes from the artists travels. Crystal Stokowski is currently a member of Space 1026, a Philadelphia based artist collective. Stokowski works in a variety of mediums: colorful fabric collage, sewing, book binding and writing. Her work ranges in scale: from mural size fabric installations to pocket size zines and dream catchers made from organic materials. Crystal Stokowski is an accomplished self-taught artist with an extensive resume. She has been a part of several bands and has worked with a variety of media including screen printing, woodwork and textiles. Stokowski has exhibited around the country, having held both group and solo shows at venues such as The Institute of Contemporary Art, in Philadelphia, the Lobot Gallery in Oakland, California, and the Cinders Gallery in Brooklyn, New York.
