West Acres Mall Showcases Local Artists

A unique art exhibit is at West Acres Mall and will be hosting events throughout the coming weeks.

The local artists behind the exhibit Vicki Kessler and Donna Kjonaas have been collaborating on their art work for the last 5 years.

Their exhibit is called Deconstruct, Reconstruct and consists of fibers and other materials put through a decomposition process and then reconstructed into works of art.

“We sometimes are just totally surprised by the organic nature of a different beauty that comes fourth and these materials already carry a long history. We don’t really know what it is but they have a life and that really appeals to us,” said Kjonaas.

The two artists will be hosting a tour of their exhibit tomorrow night at 7pm by Herbergers.
