Highlights from local private collections; lamps, guitars, pinball machines, Audubon prints, bakelite jewelry, Japanese woodblock prints, carpets, tintypes, etc.
There often exists within our hunter gatherer genetic recesses a compulsion to possess items, to define ourselves by these items, and, in turn, be changed by our selected associations.
This unique show will provide some insight into the nature of some local collectors and a small window into a portion of their unique and sometimes startling obsessions.
Be they marvelous, eccentric, or peculiar, somebody in town loves it, and that person may live next door.
