Opening Reception: Friday, August 3, 5-8PM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frog Hollow and event sponsor The Automaster present a \u00a0unique show featuring the license plate creations of automobilia artisan Aaron Stein.\u00a0“<\/em>Car Dreams”\u00a0will feature reclaimed automotive furniture, map sculptures, assemblages and constructions by Burlington based artist Aaron Stein.<\/p>\n

“My artwork explores the love and hate relationship our automotive consumerism forces us all to experience. I hope to confront the viewer with the same basic conflict I struggle with every day. How can something so influential in the design of the landscape and destructive to the environment have become a way of life? The phenomenon fascinates me….<\/p>\n

“The feelings I have about cars and trucks are flooded with romantic and nostalgic admiration for these rolling sculptures. My earliest memories are experiences with vehicles. The romantic feeling I get when I see abandoned vehicles sitting in a field or on the edge of a wood runs deep.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Aaron Stein<\/em>: \u201cAutomobilia\u201d may evoke very different reactions in different people, but for sculptor Aaron Stein, it means art. Old license plates, photos of cars used as planters, a shadow box with a police cruiser and a doughnut- whichever of his automobile-themed pieces one looks at, Aaron Stein\u2019s nostalgic assemblages will be sure to evoke a response. Having worked in many mediums, Stein draws from all of them in creating his sculpture. Drawing, painting, sculpting, photography, wood and metal working are all a part of his creative process. Collecting found objects, buying toys, wrecking toys- these too form a basis for his art. \u201cScavenged\u201d materials show up throughout his work, reflecting the importance of reuse.<\/p>\n
