Anderson Gallery Review

Oh my, the diverse collection of two and three dimensional work blended well with the whole show and in each space.  I am attracted to the three-dimensional work and secondary the two-dimensional work in each room.  The gallery  choose to create a theme within each room that worked well with the pieces shown. 

The most memorable work for me was the pair of dresses representing figure with the delicate glass hands.  What a wonderful relationship the artist created in the soft cloth to glass transparent hands.  A delightful presences of innocence.

I also enjoyed the "bed".  the contrast and tension between the nails and the idea that the bed represents relaxition and not tension but the release of tension was very visually descriptive.  Taking a found object, and using its meaning, purpose and design to revisit its meaning was enjoyable. 

It was so gracious of the Anderson Gallery to offer us a drink and as well, Thanks to them.

I am looking forward to our adventures today at many different Galleries.
