Opening reception for Material Witness coincides with the First Friday SoWa Art Walk and is held from 5 to 8 pm.

Beginning June 2nd, Fountain Street Gallery will exhibit “Material Witness,” featuring the work of Virginia Mahoney and Sylvia Vander Sluis. These sculptors process and evoke human experience with their material choices and improvised construction techniques. Forms reference the body through the senses, unexpected media, and inventive structures. Both artists approach their materials intuitively, discovering a personal vocabulary of form. Mahoney combines reclaimed materials and text in objects that resonate with sensory suggestion and reveal an exploratory manner. Vander Sluis unites contradictory materials in tenuous forms that reflect the human condition.

An Artist Talk will be held Saturday, June 12 at 4 pm.
