Middle Tennessee artist Michelle Sweatt presents an exhibit of her work at The Arts Center of Cannon County through the end of October.

Sweatt, who operates under the business name Inclined to Improvise, creates mixed-media assemblages featuring skeletons, toys, horses and lots of dolls, not necessarily in one piece.

“Everything has potential to be repurposed,” Sweatt says. “My passion is reclaiming, repurposing and reimagining uses for the discarded and unwanted. My art is an expression of this passion. I am inspired by the challenge of restoring and reanimating objects that, at one time in their existence, were considered prized belongings to someone but now find themselves either sitting on a dusty shelf in a thrift store or permanent fixtures in the landfill.”

The Arts Center of Cannon County is located at 1424 John Bragg Hwy., Woodbury, and has regular operating hours of 10 a.m.–4 p.m., Tuesday–Saturday. This art display is located in Cannon Hall, and Sweatt says she is appreciative of the opportunity to share her creations with the public during the Halloween season.
