Hancock exhibit creates mysterious dream world
With vintage paper, hand-built wooden boxes, and found and repurposed objects, a new exhibit by artist Michael Long gives a glimpse of some mysterious Santa Barbara scenes, some that exist only in his mind and some inspired by local landmarks.
The exhibit, titled “Some Assembly Required,” will show through April 18.
Long, who has taught at Peabody Charter School and the Westside Boys and Girls Club in Santa Barbara, has been assembling salvaged and recycled materials as a focal point of his work for the past 30 years.
Long will speak about his artistic process, thoughts and inspiration for his work, and answer questions, during a Foxworthy Talk Series from 6 to 7 p.m. on March 28.
