Sears on State Showcases Captivating Land of Look-Alikes
Holiday Display Makes State Street Debut Wednesday, November 7
WHAT: This holiday season Sears on State will display the artwork from
Look-Alikes - an award-winning book by artist Joan Steiner. The
displays will feature six dioramas that mimic a miniature
metropolis that is meticulously crafted out of everyday objects
from mousetraps to milk bones. State Street shoppers will have a
great time identifying the hidden objects in the scenes (a chair
made out of an oven mitt; a window made out of teabags).
WHO: Joan Steiner is a graduate of Barnard College and a self-taught
artist. Her unique three-dimensional creations have appeared in
the New York Times, Games Magazine, Nickelodeon and Sesame Street
Magazine. The recipient of numerous art and design awards,
including a Society of Illustrators Award and a National
Endowment for the Arts fellowship, Ms. Steiner lives in
Claverack, New York.
WHERE: Sears on State
2 N. State St. (NW corner of State and Madison streets)
WHEN: Wednesday, November 7 through Wednesday, January 2
VISUAL: Three-dimensional dioramas built from more than 100 everyday
objects depicting whimsical holiday and small-town scenes
highlighted with photographs from the book.
