SUMMARY:Fantastic creatures\, Beautiful beasts art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Fantastic Creatures\, Beautiful Beasts \n\n\n\nExhibition by Paige Cox & Natalie Schorr\n\n\n\n August 26 – 30\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, August 29th | 6-8P\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About Fantastic Creatures\, Beautiful Beasts  \n\n\n\nWhat if you gave your imagination total freedom? \n\n\n\nStrange creatures\, imagined worlds\, curious hybrids—do they only exist in our minds\, or can we bring them to life? \n\n\n\nThis work lives in that in-between space\,where fantasy becomes form and play becomes purpose. \n\n\n\nColors misbehave. Materials mix in unexpected ways.There are no rules about size\, shape\, or seriousness. \n\n\n\nIt’s about creating for the sheer joy of it.About letting imagination lead\, wherever it wants to go. \n\n\n\nSometimes it’s funny. Sometimes it’s unsettling.Often\, it’s both. \n\n\n\nNow feels like a good time to escape a little—to let our minds bend toward something beautifully strange. \n\n\n\nEnjoy some happiness! \n\n\n\nNatalie and Paige \n\n\n\nMore About Paige Cox  \n\n\n\nPaige Cox\, a fiber artist based in North Carolina\, is celebrated for her distinctive textile creations and inventive sculptures using paper mache’ and  found objects. Known for her experimentation with various materials and techniques like felting\, weaving\, tufting\, and up-cycled art assembly\, Paige currently focuses on creating art to help us escape. \n\n\n\nInfusing her work with lively colors and textures\, she brings a playful touch and a sense of humor to her pieces. Paige strives to make her art approachable\, inviting people to engage with art and enjoy experiencing works made to provoke a smile.  \n\n\n\nPaige Cox uses fiber like some people use fireworks: loud\, unpredictable\, and guaranteed to leave an impression. This North Carolina-based artist spins vibrant sculptures from tufted yarn\, scrap fabric\, and bits of upcycled  treasures she finds irresistible. Her art is rooted in whimsy\, but her vision is clear: fiber is a tool for connection\, not just decoration. \n\n\n\nTufting anchors her process—quick\, immersive\, and joyfully chaotic. Her pieces vibrate with energy\, overflowing with color and touchable texture. There’s a sense of invitation in her work\, a wink of mischief that says: come closer\, it’s okay to laugh. \n\n\n\nCox doesn’t stay still. She leaps between mediums—felting\, weaving\, found-object collage—guided by a love of the unexpected. Materials are sourced from anywhere and everywhere\, reimagined into forms that feel both familiar and fantastical. \n\n\n\nHer goal? To make art that resonates on a gut level—fun to look at\, fun to think about\, and maybe even fun to hold. She’s not afraid of color\, not afraid of play\, and definitely not afraid to remind us that art can be strange and sincere at the same time. \n\n\n\nTo learn more follow Paige on instagram @paigecox_art \n\n\n\nMore About Natalie Schorr  \n\n\n\nBorn into the waning days of the Eisenhower administration\, Natalie’s work is influenced by her memories of the 1960s and 70s\, and is usually based on people and emotions rather than places or things. \n\n\n\nNatalie Schorr spent 12 years working as an art director and set designer in motion pictures and television before leaving to raise her children. Her early work focused on realistic drawing and watercolor. In 1999\, she added printmaking to her skills\, experimenting extensively with early photopolymers and other nontoxic methods.  \n\n\n\nOver time\, Natalie’s work has become more focused on analog collage mixed media\, frequently employing printmaking as a starting point. Her current work includes old and recycled items\, with works primarily relating to memory and social comment arising from past trauma. Natalie believes that in a perfect moment\, mixed media brings together all her skills to create something no one skill or medium could possibly express.  \n\n\n\nAfter living in several cities over 4 states\, Natalie recently returned to Greensboro\, NC. She holds a BFA in Costume Design from the University of North Carolina Greensboro\, and an MFA in Scene Design from Carnegie Mellon University. Her studio includes a large printing press and an embarrassingly comprehensive supply of old magazines\, wallpapers and ephemera. \n\n\n\nMy work comes from my personal experiences and memories\, and it expresses feelings I cannot adequately explain with words. As with most pop surrealism there is usually an element of humor that’s obscure\, which helps me cope with life. \n\n\n\nTo learn more visit her website here and follow her on Instagram @natalieschorrart  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Hours \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p
