Natural Shift is a collaborative exhibition of work by four artists who make unusual shifts in thinking about natural materials to create work inspired by Nature. Pierre Bouraud sees clay as architecture and colors as chances to experiment. The shift reveals colorful sculptural vessels and geometric abstract structures. Sue Britt sees landscapes as stories and unmasks our connection to land with dimensional paper landscapes. Vanessa and Bruce Backer see fallen trees, clay, vintage barbed wire and concealed lighting as materials to explore the struggles our natural environment is facing. From their close collaboration emerges a series of sculptures that are both thought provoking and whimsical. The shifts experienced by each artist converge into a compelling ensemble of forms and colors inspired by the power of Nature. The art work presented in Natural Shift is carefully curated by the artists into intimate vignettes to encourage a sense of discovery and serenity throughout the gallery space.
