Maryville University had a great metal show and I wanted to share some pictures I took today of the art work displayed. Please keep in mind that these are my photos, NOT professional photos...
A little background on the show:
The show was curated by SMM member Sherri Jaude.
The name of the show was, Contemporary Metal: Aesthetic and Commerce
On view: October 16 – November 15, 2014
Opening Reception: October 16, (Thursday) 5:00p.m. - 8:00p.m.
The contemporary world embraces a range of expression that includes
functionality, the diverse use of materials, along with a balance of
aesthetics and commerce. Artists today are challenged in the studio to
meet this world and remain true to their voice. Presented in this
exhibition is a collection of objects by invited artist’s working in
metal.
Maryville University is honored to present works by Haley
Bates, John Baltrushunas, Deborah Daher, Marilyn da Silva, Michael
Good, Aimee Howard, Sherri Jaudés, Joe Meunch, Paulette Myers, Sarah
Perkins, Lanie Kodner, Claude Mette, Rodney Roots, Sun Kyoung Kim,
Warren & Diane Sauer and Billie Jean Theide.
These piece were so well crafted. It was amazing to see the work up close, of so many well known metalsmiths. The details and quality were wonderful.
Lanie Kodner created a wonderfully crafted and functional silver interchangable back scratcher...
