Holly Wilson

What Lies Beneath

January 16 - February 12, 2010

Opening January 16, 6-8 pm

“Boy’s View”, 2009, 4.5” x 4” x 4”, bronze, geode rock

Goldesberry Gallery is excited to enter into 2010 with a solo exhibition of the intimate bronze, mixed-media, and encaustic relief sculptures of Holly Wilson. Inspired by stories real and imaginary, Wilson’s spirit figures draw on the reality and legends of her Delaware and Cherokee background. Her cast of characters can stand alone or speak to each other, intertwining fragments of her nature, culture, and family. The result is figures that are delicate and engaging, quizzical and innocent, grounded and otherworldly. The opening will be held on Saturday, January 16 from 6 – 8 p.m., and the exhibition will continue through February 13.

Peter Masters

Protrusion Intrusion

October 24 - November 28, 2010

Untitled. Porcelain and slumped glass.

Goldesberry Gallery is proud to present Protrusion Intrusion, an exhibition of ceramic and glass sculpture by Peter Masters. Alluding to organic forms, Masters' manipulation of his surfaces quickly moves the objects he creates beyond anything found in the natural world. After laboriously handbuilding, and attaching, hundreds of surface protrusions to ceramic ovoid forms, he often covers the forms' openings with vibrantly colored slumped glass "veils." A sense of discovery, or revelation, then permeates the work as the viewer winds their way in, out, and over the conflicting hard and "soft" surfaces of each work.
