My Factory Made series continues its cross-country travels from its initial debut with chashama in New York City in 2012--to The Krasl Art Center in Michigan--to Kayrock in Brooklyn--to Antioch College in Ohio--and I am now thrilled to show this very dear exhibition with the people of Portsmouth, NH and 3S Artspace. For this series, I hand-cut paper stock from my hometown's French Paper Company to create abstracted scenes of the very factory where the paper is produced. The series provides a glimpse into the operations of the 140-year-old paper mill's production process and machinery—from pulp to the final paper product—in intricately layered collage...the series also provided me with an obsessive distraction and meditative process for positive healing while traveling back-and-forth from Brooklyn to Niles, MI upon the passing of my mother.

Legend has it that if you drink from the spring in the Glen Helen Nature Preserve (from which the Village of Yellow Springs takes its name), you will always return. In the fall of 1995, first-year art student Michael Hambouz drank the water, and true to legend he returns this summer with an exciting and vibrant exhibition. Brooklyn, NY-based multimedia artist Hambouz '99 infuses the Herndon Gallery with energy and color in a broad survey exhibition of 2D and 3D-lenticular paintings, cut paper collages, print, sculpture and video works spanning two decades.
This exhibition is generously supported by:
The Janet Wheeler Fund for the Arts at Antioch College
The artist will donate 30% of all exhibition sales to benefit future art programming at Antioch College
