Bolton Colburn (Moderator)
Laddie John Dill gained notoriety with materials such as glass, metal, neon, and cement. His work embodies gesture and dynamic physical presence through its use of industrial materials.
The abstract expressionism of Gregory Wiley Edwards is highly influenced by performance, activism, and his investigations into African art and philosophy.
Joe Fay gleaned a philosophy of experimentation that motivates his practice. Inspired by the natural world, his work explores the limit of each material to effectively celebrate the subject.
The moderator of this event will be Bolton Colburn, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions at Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art.
Adele and Haig Der Manuelian Galleries, Third Floor.
Registration is required for attendance.
