Kat Murphy and Heidi Johnson Reimagine Lyman Allyn Collection

The Lyman Allyn Art Museum is hosting 'A Tin Can on a String: Conversations from the Collection,' an exhibition featuring the collaboration of artists Kat Murphy and Heidi Johnson. Running from May 16 to August 9, this showcase offers a fresh interpretation of the museum's collection through a modern viewpoint. By utilizing both onsite resources and digital archives, Murphy and Johnson have crafted new pieces in painting, collage, and sculpture, drawing inspiration from the forms, textures, and stories of historical artifacts. This exhibition encourages a close conversation between history and contemporary art, resulting in a dynamic array of works that connect different eras and artistic viewpoints.
