SUMMARY:Artist Talk: February 23\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the upcoming in-person Artist Talk\, Moderated by Nancy Stuart.  \nFeaturing: David Holzman\, Susan Clinard\, Sarah Haviland\, Sue Mullaney\, Susan Rood\, Tammy Wofsey \n  \nEast Gallery:  Under the Arch: David Holzman \nDavid Holzman’s intricately carved sculptures combine figurative elements with forms inspired by world architecture and religious cultures\, notably seen in his Arch\, Tower\, and Reliquary works. Holzman also implements the practice of automatic drawing when creating these works\, quoting “My process is an uncontrolled fit\, eyes closed\, madly scribbling\, which leads to more drawing\, eyes open in an attempt to order chaos in a presentable way.” His paintings which will also be on display come from his new series “Terra Firma”\, which continues the automatic drawing approach\, by investigating the dynamic of a square format. As a whole\, Holzman’s work drives home the importance of narrative in human connections and what it means to be alive. \n\nThe West & TDP Galleries- Mind’s Eye \nSusan Clinard\, Sarah Haviland\, Sue Mullaney\, Susan Rood\, and Tammy Wofsey \nSusan Clinard’s figural assemblages embody elements of play\, experimentation\, and storytelling. Starting by sculpting detailed hands and faces in clay or resin\, Susan then incorporates found objects that range from everyday objects to antiquities and textiles. Clinard’s work emphasizes her sense of wonder when discovering how feelings become tied to an object’s form\, texture\, and compositions giving it a new meaning or narrative. \nSarah Haviland’s sculptures strike a balance between abstract form and human or avian identity. By combining stories from reality and mythology from around the world\, this series reflects connections in various cultures\, as well as contemporary societal and environmental issues. The linear and \nsemitransparent figures made from wire\, plastics\, wire mesh\, and other mixed media embody a sense of distilled emotion and archetypal presence. \nSue Mullaney’s ambiguous collage-based works rely on the viewer’s interaction and interpretations. All of the works tell stories but the narratives may not be wholly dependable\, interpretations often slip into a different reality or sur-reality. Mullaney states\, “I find it enjoyable to select conventional images from a wide variety of sources and mix and recast them in sometimes startling ways. Often that process leads to the creation of whole new worlds; surreal\, bizarre\, or whimsical. \nSusan Rood is a printmaker who holds a great interest in visual narratives and storytelling that relate to her life. Her compositions are flooded with multiple images that the viewer is tasked to make sense of simultaneously in a similar manner to comics\, graphic novels\, and advertising. Rood’s multipaneled linocut collages tell personal stories that are created with images designed to both reveal and conceal these narratives. \nTammy Wofsey’s tactile linocut and chine collé prints aim to contain the natural world on a single sheet of paper. This world-building visual storytelling depicts multiple cells that represent various aspects of the natural world. Wofsey states\, “My artwork tries to draw a human connection with our world and the slowing down of time. We are whole when we are connected to the soil and earth.”
