Alan Magee’s images of stones, artist’s tools, pensive faces, and his visual allegories of creativity itself, come together through the medium of tapestry in the exhibition “Art is Not a Solace.” Woven in Belgium, Magee’s tapestries celebrate the wonders of nature, the role of quiet reflection, and the mysteries of human existence.
Stewart Luckman, Sculpture.
“It is unlikely a sculpture will change any minds alone. It may not directly influence political, social or cultural changes. However, the work can have a transformative effect on the viewer. This is what sculpture has always been doing within its province: to offer a unique insight, vision, or perspective, which can then heighten one’s own consciousness. It may then keep alive those issues that must not be allowed to fall into our individual or collective silence.”
Karey Kessler, THIS UNGRASPABLE WHOLE.
"My work conveys the unmappable, intangible essence existing beneath the more familiar structures of the visible world using cartographic imagery. Through overlaid map imagery and evocative text, I create poetic landscapes that invite multiple interpretations. The process of combining cartography with abstract marks and colors charts new territory - evoking feelings, thoughts, and memories."
