Saturday, August 19 from
Sarah Berney’s new
body of work, The Everything Colors, refers to the principles
of String Theory, also called The Everything Theory. It takes six
vibrations to make one ring in the String Theory. Each painting
represents the essence of its color with adjoining panels, or
flickers, showing how the vibrations together create a white light.
All six colors in the spectrum are represented in this body of work.
All of this is not to say that Ms. Berney’s work is dry and
scientific, her paintings are sensuous, luscious and layered in
mystery.
Judith Lamb,
a New Yorker who moved to
Joe Wheaton’s
sculpture in steel, brass, and marble is self-described as familiar
yet strange, beautiful yet menacing, threatening yet delicate. He
states, “Reaching and solid, my work traverses many contradictions. As
in life, beautiful lines have sharp edges; precarious forms balance
with great certainty yet are vulnerable to nature's menacing ways. I
am interested in using recognizable materials and relationships in
configurations that will serve to re-evaluate how one perceives what
might at first seem obvious. Dark forms stand in front of their
ever-changing shadows. Lines motion and engage, but are like life,
elusive and mysterious.”
