Opening reception on Gallery Night, Oct. 15
New figurative sculpture and wall reliefs by Jim Matson were displayed. The opening reception was on Gallery Night and featured live music and refreshments.
Matson said, "The work is literal in the sense that it digs into the nature of our inner struggles. Working in three dimensions opens up the language to focus intently on texture, negative space, color, and form. The pieces are in part dialogues between personal life events and our connection to the ancient questions of life. My goal is to raise the question about what a peculiar thing it is to be human."
