Fletcher shows in the other L.A.
From the surprisingly big-time department, Maine figurative artist Tanya Fletcher will show her work in March in the new Los Angeles showroom of Maine-based furniture-maker Thos. Moser, opening in March.
When she got word that she was selected to show in Thos. Moser’s L.A., Fletcher thought that meant Lewiston-Auburn.
She focuses her work on the human form, and in particular details of the body – a hand, the lips or neckline. In current work, she emphasizes the hands as they are engaged in furniture making.
“My hope is that the figurative movement of the hands illustrates and encompasses the totality of the actual individual in the act of crafting a piece,” she said in an e-mail.

I'll say that's a surprising jump up in the world - Fletcher thought she was going to be showing in Lewiston/Auburn at the Moser workshop there - and it turns out to be the grand opening of the Moser gallery/showroom in Los Angeles. Wow!
This says something great about Moser - not only extending across to the West Coast where the bungalow-style architecture makes Moser's work particularly appealing - but that they would select a great, local talent like Tanya Fletcher to represent Maine with images of the workers' hands.
I am used to "the other Portland" having lived in Seattle for a while, but this "the other L/A" is terrific!
From now on, we should all refer to Los Angeles as "the other L/A" to stop this cavalcade of confusion.
