Gold is Where You Find It. Kensuke Yamada, artist<\/p><\/div>\n
\u201cI intentionally make process the concept of my work\u2014which grows from a similar place as the post-minimalist\/process movement of the 1960s,\u201d says Annand. \u201cThere is energy in process that brings my objects to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the Showcase Gallery, Drawn Together: Recent Work by Bethanne Hill, Darius Hill, Olivia Hill<\/em> brings together the work of a painter, a sculptor and printmaker, and a punch hook artist all from the same family. Through their various processes, the Hills celebrate history, culture, folklore and materiality.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are all extremely independent in our work, and there have not been any collaborations for this show so it will be interesting to see the connections,\u201d says Bethanne Hill.<\/p>\n The Small Format Gallery houses Kensuke Yamada: As You Are I Was, As I Am You Will Be<\/em>. Using clay as a source of communicating shared experiences, Yamada creates child-like figures imbued with playful pop references and bright colors. His characters range from divers to lovers carrying rainbows to men dressed up as Mickey Mouse. While often void of facial expression, these sculptures carry magnitude with their gesture and boldly patterned bodies.<\/p>\n
