Surface & Depth: Kappy Trigg and Tom Small
A reception for the artists Tom Small and Kathryn Trigg will be held today, Friday, September 8th 4 -7 pm at Waterworks Gallery. The exhibit featuring Small’s Sculpture and Trigg’s Monotype Paintings, Surface & Depth: Stone and Paper, will continue through September 8 – 30.
Tom Small’s sculptures are inspired directly from the land. For Tom, specific locales in the Northwest provide the vision for the work. These locals include the islands, the beaches, the rivers, and the mountains. This show will include recent drawings, carvings in stone and wood, and glass castings.
Kathryn Trigg creates alchemy using her monotypes to compose her paintings. A monotype is a unique work on paper created using a printing press. Using a colorfield approach to the art work, Kathryn combines countless layers of paint, inks and paper to the surface of wood panels. This approach creates a form of illusion within her work. As Kathy stated” Everyone needs a little magic in their lives”.
Reception for the artists Friday, September 8th 4 -7 pm.
Please join Kathryn Trigg on Saturday, September 9th for an artist walk about the show, she will be sharing her insight about the work. 11.30 am to 1.30 pm.
