Jody’s work is featured at NUMU through March 8th in the exhibition Stitches & Wiggles: Unraveled and Reimagined Mixed Media Art by Jody Alexander and Thomas Campbell . Stitches & Wiggles: Unraveled and Reimagined Mixed Media Art by Jody Alexander and Thomas Campbell invites us to participate in an object-based dialogue that speaks to the similarities of vision, intention, and ways of creating.
