Imagine It Thick In Your Own Hair: an emergency benefit exhibition by Heide Hatry

Heide Hatry uses pigments made from oil, tar, and other organic materials to make a statement about the horrific oil spill in the Gulf region. "Imagine It Thick in Your Own Hair" is a benefit exhibit for the Audubon Action Center which helps wildlife in the Gulf region. The German visual artist uses road kill and found animal corpses to create mixed-media paintings, sculpture, and more to heighten awareness about the disaster . A silent auction includes works by emerging and well-known artists. - June Wulff, Globe Staff
