| Waxed & Winged: A Cabinet of Curiosities |
January 7 – February 19, 2011 |

| Show Description: Joy Broom describes her art pieces as “Insect Specimen Boxes.” They are that, certainly, and more. Her dioramic art, which combines natural and fabricated elements—including actual insect specimens, combined with her own paintings and pen drawings, preserved in purified beeswax—hearkens back to the cabinets of curiosities popularized by European aristocrats in the 16th and 17th centuries. |
