‘Curated Contraptions’ by Mary Masterilli – At Gifts Inn Boonsboro

Get ready for an Alice-in-Wonderland wild experience at the latest art show by fantastical, steampunk-inspired, mad scientist-artist Mary Masterilli! Specializing in mixed-media assemblage and crazy creativity, Mary cannibalizes bits and bobs from ordinary items and turns them into works that are completely unexpected. Join us at GIB on June 7th from 1-4pm to meet Mary and marvel at her amazing art, just in time for Father’s Day!

Artist’s Statement: “Junk is my medium. Vintage typewriters and cameras, broken VCRs and DVDs, creepy doll parts and other “found objects.” My steampunk-persuaded art brings together the discards and fragments of industrial society with natural elements such as wood and copper, interpreting the histories of forgotten things. Whether functional art, casual furniture, or fine art sculpture, Apothic Art represents my ongoing attempt to recapture the feelings and memories of a free-range childhood spent playing in abandoned factories along Philadelphia’s Manayunk Canal.”
