Safe Harbor: Chris Ryniak & Amanda Louise Spayd @ Stranger Factory (April 10th)
EVENT PRESS: "From the edge of the boardwalk to the bottom of the sea, adventure awaits!
Ohio artists Chris Ryniak and Amanda Louise Spayd are back with another collaborative exhibit, "Safe Harbor". Moving away from their usual land-locked world, the artists breathe new life into the creatures who make their homes both above and below the boardwalk."

EVENT PRESS CONTINUED: "The artists have collaborated on some of their most ambitious new works yet, both stepping out of their comfort zone to tackle an entirely new breed of their well-loved creations. They've envisioned a world revolving around a dilapidated old wharf, worn by time and salt, inhabited by creatures both new and familiar.
This fresh and unexplored world has led both artists to craft bold, new creations; some of Spayd's original Dust Bunnies have grown fins, adorning themselves with shells, crab claws, and fishhooks, while "Safe Harbor" will also reveal plenty of fresh, sea-dwelling additions to Ryniak's usual roster of meticulously sculpted characters."

EVENT PRESS CONTINUED: "This is the fourth large-scale collaboration by Chris and Amanda, and as they continue to share ideas and inspire each other, their creations have found themselves cohabiting the rotting planks and watery depths of their own crumbling coastal paradise.
Join us at Stranger Factory as we drop anchor and spend some time with this fantastic new family of creatures from two of our most popular artists.
The opening reception is Friday, April 10th from 6 - 9 pm at Stranger Factory. Both artists will be in attendance."
***Due to high demand for these artists, items from the show will be available via raffle for attendees of the opening. Please contact Stranger Factory for more details.***
