Rebecca Welz "Inner and Outer Spaces"
June Kelly Gallery
This event has ended.
"Inner and Outer Spaces" features new sculptures by Rebecca Welz that are powerfully articulate in color, form and configuration. Welz’s sculptures soar, whether they hang from the ceiling, are on the wall or stand tall on the floor. Are they kites? Or are they origami? She leaves it to the viewer to decide. “I utilize steel arcs and spiral elements threaded with folded steel planes that combine to form structure,” Welz says. The plates, she adds, “can be defined in terms of cosmology as galaxies, alternate universes, black holes and stars. “These works revel in the poetry of space, the movement and energy of planets and stars as they take part in the choreography of the universe. The rhythms of nature and physics, of music and color, of temperature and density all come into play.” She comments that on a clear night in a dark place, “we can see an endless sea of stars and planets…. It is the universe outside of our world, but it is of our world as well, because we perceive it and move through it.” This is the basis of Welz’s art. Rebecca Welz, a native of Sausalito, California, lives and works in New York City. She received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the Boston Museum School of Fine Art.
