Once we figured out how to convert the edges of the sculpture into a silhouette, and then blend that form into the landscape, it all fell into place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wurman echoes this sentiment, highlighting the rewarding aspect of the process. \u201cEach and every piece posed their own set of problems,\u201d he says. \u201cHow was I going to place Jim\u2019s sculpture in a real world environment? This is when I felt more an artist than I had ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Against the Grain<\/em> offers an exploration of how two artists working in different media can push each other\u2019s boundaries and create something greater than the sum of its parts. \u201cEach scene came alive and created its own dialogue,\u201d says Brandon. \u201cNow, each time I look at one of these sets it makes me smile, because I think it clicked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>There will be an opening reception for the exhibit on Friday, June 6, from 5\u20138 p.m. Mars Landing Galleries is located at 37 Library Street, Mars Hill.
