Alan S. Kushner Studio Craft Sculptural Wall Mirror
Located in Hanover, MA
Custom woodwork decorative wall mirror created by artist Alan S. Kushner of Philadelphia circa 1990.
Signed "AK" carved on back of bottom triangle.
Overall dimensions: 72 inches high by 46 inches wide by 5 inches deep.
Framed mirror dimensions: 46 inches high by 24 inches wide by 5 inches deep.
Please note that the artist's intention was for the mirror to be displayed with the zebra wood arrow on the bottom pointing downward and the 'fishtail' on top. We know this because on the backside of the mirror are two wedge cut blocks for mounting in a corresponding wall bracket or Z clip. For the purposes of our photography it was not possible to stand the mirror on the point so all our photos show it upside down.
Alan Kushner (1949-2008) was a self-taught woodworker and furniture maker who exhibited his designs primarily in and around Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland during the 1980's and 1990's.
In 1991 he participated in the summer exhibition "In Our Circle" at the James Michener...

"Accent", Monumental Charcoal on Canvas Painting by Jessica Scott Felder
By Jessica Scott-Felder
Located in Hanover, MA
11 foot by 9 foot frame stretched charcoal on canvas painting by Jessica Scott-Felder titled "Accent" 2009.
Jessica utilizes drawings and installations with antique objects to transform spaces into psychological realms that are suggestive of maternal figures and ancestral and social narratives. Initially, the chairs represented matriarchal presence and have currently expanded to ancestry. Jessica’s work addresses issues in identity, heritage, culture, and society’s rapidly disintegrating connection to the past.
Jessica's grandmother's living room has been a focal point of her work. She is visually exploring the suggestive qualities of furniture placement. Many of the images were derived from “Last Year at Marienbad...
