Audrey will discuss her visual work and share a reading from her forthcoming novel The Other Husband, the highly anticipated sequel to The Time Traveler's Wife. Audrey has been at work on The Other Husband since 2012. The novel follows Alba, the time-traveling daughter of Henry and Clare, as she navigates a world of music, art, and mayhem. The book is slated for release in the fall of 2026. Don't miss this opportunity to hear directly from Audrey as she bridges her art and writing in an intimate, celebratory setting. \"Fosberg appropriates objects and images, and then creatively alters them to suit her artistic conceit. The stylized paintings are allegories of spiritual quests and the peculiar sculptures are transformed into talismans. Art has done this work for centuries, picturing the ineffable and serving as supernatural intermediaries in our relationship with the unknown. Fosberg imagines places and things of mystery and awe, through which one gets to a higher state of consciousness, with nature often as the gateway, as she puts it. Once again, Fosberg has delivered an exhibition suffused with enchantment.\" - excerpt from Addendum: Lora Fosberg and the Romantic Sublime by Lisa Wainwright.</p>","name":"Talks","organization_type_id":"1","district_id":"1","telephone":"+13129441990","website":"http://www.zollaliebermangallery.com","email":"info@zollalieberman.com","hours":"Tu–F 10–5; Sa 11–5","location":"325 W.
