分分六合彩鈥檚 Elder Gallery opens with a collaboration between artists Josh Johnson and Allison Wade who together explore the possibilities of contemporary sculpture.
The exhibit, 鈥淟ow Form Frequency,鈥 features a range of materials including wood, fibers, metal and clay. The exhibit tells a story of the peculiarities of objects drifting in real and imagined spaces and of the instinctive way the artists examine the particularities of memory and aesthetics in inventive ways.
The exhibit runs through Friday, October 4 and will conclude with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. in the gallery. The artists will be in attendance.
