Artist Statement:
Born in Boston, MA. Graduated

structures (such as light
posts, crosswalk signals,
traffic lights and one-way
signs.) The "one-way" sign
became a distinguished feature
in my fine art prints. I

lines and fences contain and
reinforce the architecture.

only implied through) the the
structures themselves; they
support the people. The city
wallpapers the atmosphere. The
buildings are repetitious
patterns which formulate a
backdrop for human existence.
I choose to work with imagery
of older buildings, opposed to
new ones, because I feel they

depicting cityscapes, but I
also like rural environments.

The pin cushion bra really says it all. Hundreds of tiny, decorated beads show on the outside of each cup. A frightening forest of sharp pins pierce the inside.
Susan Massucci's "Pins and Needles," which evokes the pain of breast cancer treatment, is one of the most jarring entries in "The Bra Show," a unique exhibit that opens October 17 in the Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit's Janice Charach Gallery.
