Susan Smereka’s ‘Coagulate’: Almonds, stitching and family at Axel’s

Susan Smereka’s exhibition, “Coagulate” at Axel’s Gallery in Waterbury explores family dynamics, identity and emotional inheritance. Fragmented materials — cut up mono-prints, photographs, fabric, letters, wood veneer and much more — are stitched together in Smereka’s multi-layered compositions.
