The Blue Hill Public Library presents a new art show, “mal-le-a-ble:” leather masks by Tammy Bernard and metal art by Tanya Washburn, during the month of October. The public is invited to a reception for the show on Friday, October 17 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. 

The name of the show, “mal-le-a-ble,” refers to the materials used to make the two artists’ artworks—leather and sheet metal.

• 1.(of a metal or other material) able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking:

According to Tammy & Tanya, in a time when people are often being pushed to their limit, they feel that it is important to remain supple under pressure, like the media they work with, and to not allow the powers that be to break their spirits.

The exhibit is available for viewing in the library’s Britton Gallery and Roland Howard Meeting Room, subject to the meeting room schedule. For more information, call the library at 374-5515.
