By altering the functionality of domestic appliances\, the tools are turned into metaphors that reflect our dependency on these devices and the desire to break free from their comforting grasp at the same time. \nartlab Visiting Artist Talk: Yhelena and Michael Hall \nFRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 8 \n5:30 – 6  PM \nFREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC \nJoin us as welcome artlab artists Yhelena and Michael Hall to their opening talk before the official gallery opening reception.
