Artist Hallie Watson exhibits her work, which combines images and text to present a portrait of the everyday objects in our lives. Watson’s drawings depict these common objects but her text tells the object’s story from the perspective of the people who encountered it. The Treasure Project is on view in the Corridor Gallery March 2-31, 2016.

Describing the intent of the work on view, Watson explains:

 It seems to me that life is an entanglement of stories, all intertwined and joined to make a grand creation. We make a story each day and during the process incorporate objects into the fabric of the narrative. Daily mundane things or special treasures, these things rub up against our life and take on meaning. Every time an artist makes a piece he is telling a story. I choose to tell my story with words and images. Together the image and text combine to present a portrait of the object.
