One Gross Face, opening on 12/12/12 at the James Gray Gallery at Bergamot Station,  Cope is  NOW "Sculpting for the Cure" and Teaming up with Susan G. Komen For the Cure. Karen has personally had close encounters with breast cancer as a close member of her family is a 1 year Cancer Survivor and another recently underwent a partial mastectomy and therefore is honored to be Sculpting for a Cure by exhbiting her art as well as fighting for everyone dealing with this disease.

Thus, 10% of all proceeds will be donated to The Susan G. Komen foundation.
In Honor of all Breast Cancer Survivors, 44 pieces of the 144 Sculptures  will also be coated in a Pink Silicone for all to come see, enjoy and TOUCH! During the 12/12/12 opening we will have the honor of getting to hear the story of Stefanie LaRue, a cancer survivor, at 7 pm.  So Come out and show your support! Get involved and go home with a unique and powerful Sculpture on 12/12/12!!!  Hope to see you all then~

"As you flip thru these pages, I hope you will take note and be enticed that you are in essence being invited in to see and understand how I perceive these 144 unique souls captured in “One Gross Face”, 144 Sculptural Portraits… This Journey began many moons ago and slowly revealed itself in small increments. Note by note of clay, each sculpture has progressed in the purely additive “Drawing in Space” Method of Sculpting reminiscent of the old masters. Along the way, this body of work has morphed into a monumental study of humanity, individuals, and their nuances. One thing that was revealed to me was how thru their subtitles, the way a person holds themselves, a tilt of the head or through the crook of their mouth, one can capture a specific atmosphere or impression surrounding each visage. I invite you to not to just look, but to lean in and discover what it is like to See thru my eyes."
