Posies: a Pocketful @ Gearbox Gallery

Two sculptures I have in this show

Aug 26 – Oct 2, 2021
Opening Reception on Saturday, August 28th, from 1-3pm

Curated By Ruth Santee

Throughout history, flowers have commanded human attention. Our relationship with flowers is special. In many ways it is symbiotic. Most flowers are cultivated and require human care, wild flowers being the exception. In return, flowers provide us with a rich cultural, and sensory experience. There are countless cultural and scientific references to flowers throughout history. Humans have designated the flower as a symbol of birth, death, love and honor. We adorn our bodies, our homes, our churches and our graveyards with them. We pick them, plant them, buy them, pollenate with them, draw them, sculpt them, dry them, eat them, preserve them and heal with them. For most people flowers carry enormous symbolism, provide soothing sympathy and are an integral part of many of cultural ceremonies. Flowers heighten our awareness. By using all of our senses, our continued relationship with flowers connects us to each other and the environment.

This exhibit promises more than mere reverence for the “flower”. Posies: A Pocketful explores the unique interpretations 11 established artists have with this subject matter. Posies in this exhibit include: Bronze, steel Ikebana, abstracted zip tie flowers, ceramic blossoms, dancing paper mache flowers, illuminated neon flora, floral assemblage of found objects, paper flowers, and flowers on paper.

The exhibiting artists are: David Kimball Anderson, Jerry Barrish, Lynn Beldner, John Casey, Cheryl Coons, Roger Daniells, Vicki Gunter, Carrie Lederer, Ruth Santee, Tiffanie Turner, and Franca Van Allen.

Startdust Antennas @ WOW x WOW

WOW x WOW Gallery proudly presents Stardust Antennas. Opening on wowxwow.com at 7pm BST on 6th August and running until 27th August, the exhibition will feature incredible original artworks by more than 70 super talented international artists.

Stardust: [noun] a feeling or impression of romance, magic, or ethereality.

Antenna: [noun] the natural ability to notice things and understand their importance.

While living the life of an artist, it is a role of each individual to develop a heightened sense of awareness; to be fully receptive to environment and surroundings. It can so often be the smallest or most insignificant of moments and observations that will trigger inspiration with the potential to blossom into a multitude of creative ideas and possibilities. On many of these occasions we feel an unmistakeable magic within the moment, a quality that elevates the experience above the humdrum, one that propels our imaginations into overdrive. So, let us savour the fruits of these significant junctures and revel in creations fuelled by the twinkling receptions of our ‘Stardust Antennas’.
