WHEN:   May 2nd- June 24th
WHERE: Duke Hall Gallery

His patterned yet geometrically diverse artwork, which generally includes features such as doorways, sidewalks, walls and stairways, has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad, including at the Taubman Museum of Art

Like a quilt-maker, Crable weaves together a variety of simple images into an engaging whole.
