This event has ended.

In Wait, Sarah Wood's sculptures emphasize the materiality of the object. Much like American sculptors of the 60's and 70's, Wood creates reduced abstract forms from existing materials. Her work addresses the duality between presence and absence within space, playing with repeated shadows and suspended forms. Her use of black materials lends a weight and density to the object that is often misleading. In "Untitled", she builds a hanging series of logs made of black felt, lightly suspended over their shadow.

David Kennedy-Cutler uses tree branches collected from the streets of New York City for the work included in Reverberate. Stripped, split, bent, and manipulated to defy their natural shape, each branch is coated in a different application of a compact disc's data. Kennedy-Cutler heat fuses the pre-owned discs to the branches in a variety of techniques, encasing each branch in a shell of reflected light and color. This work hangs in space, a fusion of recycling and sculptural object, pointing towards the future.
