In times like these we are entering (quoting ), it’s best to be with friends. Join us for the Opening at this Thursday, November 14 from 6pm - 8pm.

In Carter Burden Gallery’s eighth annual exhibition the Small Works Show, over seventy gallery artists who have harnessed their creativity on uniform 10” x 10” canvases, resulting in an array of paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, and collages that eloquently demonstrate the remarkable diversity and artistic strength of the artists’ talent.
To align with Carter Burden Gallery’s principle that art should be for everyone, all artworks are priced at $200, making them accessible to both seasoned and first-time collectors.
The exhibition will also feature 6” x 6” Art Cards, each available for $20, with all proceeds dedicated to the support of Carter Burden Gallery.

I have two sculptural works in the show, ‘Pandora’sBox’ and ‘Pegasus’Wing’ along with five art cards printed on my etching press.

The poem is by Maggie Smith, titled ‘Good Bones’.

I will be at the gallery tomorrow afternoon and Saturday. Saturday there be a printmaking workshop for kids run by me from 2-4pm, hosted by 💫

Enjoy part 2 of the gallery tour of my work in “WayWeSeeIt”currently at the West Gallery of :

Swiveling into the room, you will see two sculptural objects.
The first one is called ‘WhatADrag’ and is entirely put together from studio detritus.
This airy construction fascinated me because it felt like a ‘drawing in space’.
It is an expression of a feeling that, no matter how light and whimsical some days can feel, there is always something holding us down. It can hold us back, it can weigh on us, it can be a drag, but it can also be an anchor, that allows us to freely explore and be safe. Something’s got our back. The drag can be an opportunity, not just a problem.

Behind this, we find ‘TerraInfirma(MotherCourage)’ on the second pedestal.
Quite a few of my works, especially the found object sculptures, deal with fragility, vulnerability and destabilization. I wanted to give this piece a feel of a beach cairn, stones loosely stacked upon one another, finding balance.
As often, this benign concept veered off into more edge territory.
‘TerraInfirma’ began talking about the shaky ground we planted our flag on and then took a turn into yet another, quite literally, burning issue.
I saw a similar wagon Mother Courage was dragging around behind herself during the 30-year War in Europe and the piece began to address the upheaval of war, forced to pile all that is left of your belongings and beliefs onto a rickety cart, disowned, displaced, destroyed, barely held together. Looking to find aid and stability elsewhere.
