ARTISTS SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY, but arguably no one sees plywood the way artist Ted Thirlby does. He began “rescuing” discarded scraps during his days leading a contracting company and gave them new life as contemplative paintings. As his work evolved, Ted aspired to ink smaller plywoods and run them through a press to create impressions on paper.

These monoprints, full of movement and spirit, gave yet another iteration of life to the would-be flotsam. REGENERATION is the first gallery experience to bring Ted’s paintings and prints together in one musing collection, spread across the two EEA Main St. Galleries.

OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, March 25 | 4PM-7PM

Sip, mingle, and explore with the artist and friends.
