Gallery Opening!
The Cliff Dwellers’ newest art installation features the works of renown sculptor, Andrew Light. Currently based in central Kentucky, his work has been exhibited throughout the United States and in the United Kingdom. Displaying frequently in outdoor and gallery exhibitions, Mr. Light has numerous original works held in museum, municipal, and private collections. Mr. Light prefers the use of fabricated metals for his sculptures, as they afford a high degree of plasticity and durability for his expressions.
Three of our Artists in Residence have pieces now on display on the Gallery Wall:
Isaac Couch: Most of Isaac’s current work aims to redefine his conflicting identity as African American. He reaches back into his own personal past as well as the history of this country to find himself within it. Through a reconstructive fashion and fiber art practice, working with his hands versus his fingers, Isaac questions the traditions of Haute Couture. He mirrors the violence we see around us by physically tearing, burning, stapling, knotting, and puncturing symbolic materials that tie back to his identity.
Taylor Fujisawa: Taylor is both a traditional and visual artist. He prides himself on his ability to work with a wide array of materials, and is constantly trying to learn methods and abilities within the visual arts. Skills he has learned include: drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry making, sewing, costume creation and design, printmaking, digital art, and stained glass work.
Jesse Pace: Jesse is a painter, photographer, and musician. These diverse forms of expression converge without the need, nor the expectation to create singular narrative that examines the body, fantasy, horror, memory, and the effects of symbols on our unconscious minds and the human spirit. The paintings record his physical movements, leaving their impressions on its surface. recording the automatic movements of his mind and body. The photos are a different kind of constructed reality.
