    1. Mom friends her teen on Facebook. 2. Mom sees crazy photos of kids in compromising situations and questionable status updates. 3. Mom creates delicately embroidered renderings of these images and updates to process this technological moment in time and her relationship to it. Kathy Halper POS (Parents Over Shoulder) Original embroidered works from the "Friend Me" series May 17th - June 16th, 2012 Friend Me is a series of embroidered drawings created by Chicago artist, Kathy Halper, based on Facebook photos of teens paired with found texts meant to explore the contemporary teen's experience through today's public technology. As a mother and artist, Halper processes this distinct moment in time where teenagers' questionable transgressions can be broadcast immediately for the world to see, rather than as a story to be told from the safety of adulthood. Opening: Thursday, May 17th from 5pm - 8pm - artist will be present
