Caption: Sand T, Founder and curator of artSPACE@16 gallery on Princeton Road, stands with one of her own pieces, "Abundance," hanging in the window of Fu Loon Restaurant in September, as part of the annual WindowArts Malden event. WindowArts brings the work of local artists to Malden storefronts each fall. Here, Sand T's piece is composed of small, colorful hanging circles, each inscribed with a food-related saying. Sand T has helped organize WindowArts Malden since it began two years ago.
