“The Rewind Theory” invites guests into the imaginative world of collage artist Janet Gold, whose intricate assemblages transform vintage materials into layered stories of nostalgia and reinvention. Drawing from decades of experience as a professional artist and educator in Broward County, Gold constructs richly textured compositions from old book covers, wallpaper, photographs, and found ephemera—each piece steeped in history and reimagined through her contemporary lens. Presented in handcrafted shadowbox frames, these works invite close viewing, revealing the poetry hidden in the everyday. Join us for the opening reception, where Gold celebrates her love of books, paper, and play with a retro twist—complete with vintage candy, soda, and a touch of typewriter-style charm. Meet the artist and enjoy light refreshments at our free opening reception.
