Diane Pieri at No. 5 Butchie Allie

No. 5 Butchie Allie at 1175 S. 13th Street presents Diane Pieri: Once Upon A Time from June 4 through July 30.

Pieri creates sublime, delicate works on paper that weave meaning, symbol and color in cascading landscape compositions. Each work is a microcosm of multiple intimate compositions that unfold under close inspection. Upon exhaling, they reveal a universe of saturated color and texture as the whole comes into view.

Pieri is unapologetically driven to create radical beauty. She finds power and freedom in embracing every glorious opportunity to be purely decorative. Her newest images incorporate 3D elements that billow unexpectedly from quiet surfaces.

Pieri will host a decorated bookmaking workshop on June 25 from noon to 3 p.m. the family friendly event is for ages 6 and up. Children must be accompanied by parents and the workshop is limited to 10 participants. In exchange for the experience, donations to Phillabundance will be accepted.
