Before Liberation: “Laundry Day,” an installation by artist Susan Lenz, is now hanging in the Wildflowers Too Art Gallery in Barnegat Light through mid-September.

ONCE INSIDE: ‘Room with a View’ painting by Franny Andahazy now at Solace Studio and Gallery in Surf City.

“Laundry Day” is a collection of vintage aprons and baby clothes. Each piece has at least one fabric hand print stitched to it; some have several. Conceptually, this exhibit suggests a nostalgic beauty and domestic ease while subtly promoting energy conservation and other common-sense reasons to line-dry textiles.
