Backdrop is a continuing series of new mixed media artworks by Kate Oberreich – all using the upcycled material from the District Theatre’s cyclorama. The work leans into layers of this material and moves its previous incarnation as an unnoticed backdrop to the forefront.
The series plays on the idea of theater curtains, backdrops, and other stage elements collaged, painted, embroidered, and beaded. Often used to simulate skies, a group of landscapes features high horizon lines looking to the sky.
See Backdrop at the District Theatre now through September 1 and during the 2024 Indy Fringe Festival!
