In her first solo exhibition, This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees, artist Amy Caterina presents a multi-media installation - a simulated landscape created by Caterina's video, photography and knitted objects. This exhibition is a further exploration of Caterina's Psuedo-Sod series, wherein the artist transforms a common crafting yarn into a knit replication of grass that carpets the floor, and coats several sculpted woodland creatures. Caterina's fiber arts and video installation explores human preconceptions of natural and urban environments, regeneration, decay, and the flora and fauna of her imagination.

The Grand Central Art Center is hosting two free workshops during Amy Caterina's show. Visitors will work together with Caterina to create a knit project to be donated to a local dialysis center. Caterina will also give an hour long lecture both days about the role of knitting in her artwork and her experience of the community-building nature of needlework.
