Mitchie Cooper | It's Complicated

Join us for an extra special opening this Saturday, May 2, from 5-9pm to celebrate 1 year of Orleans Gallery!

The Orleans Gallery presents three spectacular shows by artists Andrew LaMar Hopkins, curated by Alison M. Gingeras; Jen Morgan; and Michie Cooper.

Michie Cooper is a fabric artist who free-sews scenes from New Orleans onto repurposed fabric. Her show "It's Complicated" explores a beautifully toxic relationship we all know well-- between New Orleans and its residents. Potholes, construction sites, and leaky pipes are intricately rendered next to the vibrant colors and breathtaking architecture of our city, an embroidered homage to New Orleans' imperfections and the culture that makes them worth it.
