Amelia Briggs’ ‘drupe’ at Sheet Cake Gallery, now on view:
Amelia Briggs is based in Brooklyn, New York, and works in fiber and painting to create wall hangings that are reminiscent of quilts, botanical and anatomical forms. “Drupe” focuses on interiors.

Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
