and laser-cut black metal trees. Rosy red-cheeked women float on the black
walls. There is an unsettling sense of violence in the room.
“Our family had a violent history, so it’s only natural to include some of that in
the murals,” Jessica explained. “The story is not pretty.”
The Haus Project opened to the public Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 10 and 11,
and will be open again and Aug. 17-18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For locals, it’s the
old Krueger place, others can get directions at: jessrichterprints.com.
