Brenda Garand Exhibition
CYNTHIA-REEVES
This event has ended.
Brenda Garand continues her exploration of three-dimensional works incorporating metal, fabric and faux fur. In this most recent series of floor-based sculptures, Garand has moved away from heavier volumetric steel sheets, shifting her focus to narrower metal bands that describe space as opposed to define it. These new works explore the illusion of volume with very few materials, elevating the use of metal to a lyrical realm. The witty incorporation of fabric and fur offer a humorous foil for the steel; the works are elegant and spare, an impression that evokes the roots of abstract minimalist sculpture.
Garand holds an MFA in Sculpture from Queens College in Flushing NY and is the recipient of many grants and awards, including: an Artist Grant from the Vermont Arts Council; a fellowship from the New Hampshire Council on the Arts; a Fulbright Grant for study in France; and, The Marion and Jasper Whiting Foundation Grant Bayeux France.
