Description
Sculpturesite gallery will present "Reclaiming Materials: Four Sculptors Recycle", an exhibition of the work of four women creating abstract sculpture in a variety of mixed, found materials. Joan Robey, Adele Seltzer, Jane Woolverton and Ann Weber will present work. A public reception for the artists will be held on Thursday, April 10th from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. The artists will be present and speak about their work.

The use of recycled materials in contemporary art has taken on greater significance as the world deals with the environmental impact of its human population. Reusing scraps or finding new uses for plastics and other non-biodegradable materials has become both “green” and a way for artists to make statements about what we choose to throw away. For this exhibition, Sculpturesite Gallery presents the view of four established sculptors who are exploring the act of reclaiming the cast-off for use in their own work.
