Strange Bedfellows
The half-way point has been reached in Goldesberry Gallery’s presentation of the group exhibition Strange Bedfellows. The exhibition continues through Saturday, November 29, 2008.
Strange Bedfellows features work that presents odd, and sometimes larger-than life, juxtapositions in depictions of the figure, whether straightforward or through anthropomorphized flora and fauna, and how it is handled in contemporary craft media.
Tom Bartel, Mark Newport, and Cynthia Consentio are fascinated with the human condition and questions concerning the human form, notions of identity, masculinity, societal roles, and cultural mores through juxtaposed exaggeration, or distortion, of objects and qualities from different worlds to make connections with incongruities within human experience. Melody Ellisand Kevin Titzer further explore this experience by creating figures full of humor, menace, and morality tales. Susan Gillerpresents creatures reminiscent of the wicked rabbit-costumed character Frank in the cult film “Donnie Darko”. Pat Johnsondraws inspiration from her own life in an attempt to unveil her fears and desires by examining the fine line between the seen and unseen. Karen Woodward uses diminutive, cartoon-like figures of flame worked glass to illuminate both physical and psychological aspects of the individual. Finally, Wendy Walgate, concentrating on ideas of accumulation and nostalgia, builds contemporary wunderkammen.
Strange Bedfellows was curated by Eric Davis.
Since 1991 Goldesberry Gallery has been Houston’s premier gallery for work in craft media including ceramics, fiber, glass, wood, and unique handcrafted jewelry.
