Details:
Cassidy explores the cumulative weight of trauma and the burdens we carry throughout our lives- those invisible forces we weave into the shadows that trail behind us, granting them a life of their own. Through the use of wood and clay forms accented by intricately woven wire, Cassidy gives physical presence to these intangible experiences, creating vessels that both contain and animate the human spirit. Cassidy is also a member of the acoustic duo Cover Birds with Jen Pruitt, who will be performing at MAXgallery on Saturday, 4/18, 3 - 5 pm.
Collins’s work is inspired by her novel Cloud Shadows. She portrays the mythological beings and the protagonist’s search for home using paper, ink, plaster, lemon juice, and fire. The launch of Cloud Shadows, including a reading and discussion, is planned for Saturday, 4/11 at 3pm in the gallery.
Vantine presents new interpretations of her use on 3D and relief forms as the underlying structure in landscape. Her interest is in what’s visible or invisible in form, and how those aspects influence the conformation of our geography. This work is based on travel in the Southwest and New England over the past few years, as well as regional meanderings in the Mid-Atlantic region.
