“At the beginning, you work with materials; you don’t know them very well, and you try to get them to do what you think you want them to do. As time goes on you understand the way to make them do what they want to do, but your way.”
Sheila Hicks
From: Ford Foundation, “Begin with Thread”
Focusing on material as a collaborator, the works on display in PLY simultaneously present both sides of the sculptural process: the steadfast forcing of and ultimate surrendering to one’s own materials. In some instances, the body dictates the ultimate form of the material- in others the material forces its own hand, changing the final form of the finished work beyond what the artist originally intended. The artists represented in PLY (gathered from across the country) all share a dedication to the study of materiality as well as rigorous individual studio practices.
Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment is located at 2211 Seminole Drive, Huntsville, AL 35805. The gallery is located on the Third Floor East Gallery. Gallery hours are Wednesday - Saturday 11 a.m. - 7 p.m.
