Cusack gives new life to discarded items you might find on the side of the road. See her exhibit “Labor of Love” on display Monday, Aug. 29 through Friday, Sept. 23 at the Mary Matteson-Parish Art Gallery at Lone Star College-Montgomery.

See trash and everyday objects transformed into
unexpected sculptures at Lone Star College-Montgomery’s first art exhibit of the fall semester. “Labor of Love” by Claire Cusack will be on display Monday, Aug. 29 through Friday, Sept. 23 at the Mary Matteson-Parish Art Gallery, including a closing reception Thursday, Sept. 22 at noon. The exhibition and closing reception are open to the public and free to attend.

“Many of the discarded objects I find have individual voices,” said Cusack. “These voices speak to me and guide the unusual pairing and complex assemblages to make a story."

Cusack gives new life to discarded items you might find on the side of the road. Her work stands out because she uses furniture-making techniques to ensure parts are fit together, minimizing the use of glue and other fixatives.

The Mary Matteson-Parrish Art Gallery is open Monday – Friday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and is located on the first floor of Building D.
