Melody Postma and Peter Roberts
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 7, 5:00 - 7:00 PM
Mazel Pop! by Melody Postma and Peter E. Roberts is a duet show depicting the many contributions of Jewish makers, creators, and inventors that have shaped culture and lifestyles.
Melody Postma has always been fascinated with old photographs. Her work is a multi-layered evolution of vivid color, playful shapes, textural fragments, and long forgotten photographic images of nonchalant figures. Each layer is a moment, a new thought, sometimes revealing of what came before and at other times hidden as the momentum continues. She likes to tap into the viewer's sense of self by unveiling a connectedness to a moment. While identity remains anonymous, a sensitivity to time and space takes over, simply taking you on a journey by offering snapshots of information buried along the way.
Peter Roberts is a Savannah-based mixed-media artist, pop culture creator, and director of the Location Gallery downtown. Known for his Headcases series and intricate paper-cut art, Roberts often works with themes of nostalgia, puns, and circus-themed imaginative scenes. He is deeply involved in the local art scene and organizing exhibits that support local nonprofits.
