Petals and Wings
Kathleen Schneider

GALLERY I

April 28 - May 23, 2010

Opening Reception: Thursday, April 29, 6-8 pm

The works in Petals and Wings continue Schneider's engagement with locating gesture and movement (implied action, stopped-action) in sculptures that are discrete, hand-made, self-contained, and still. Five new sculptural pieces feature “equal and opposing actions happening at the same time” and embody the characteristics of simultaneity. Each work in the exhibition fluctuates, in materials and meaning, between the recognizable and the abstract. A large wall assemblage, several hanging spherical clusters, and four framed splashes of color - poised throughout the gallery in dynamic equilibrium - could as easily be described as a large wing, two giant “bouquets “, and four floral “still lives.
