Eleanor/Eleanor opens at SCRAP's Re:Vision Gallery

Date: 
Fri, 05/06/2011 - 4:30pm - 6:00pm

Eleanor Williams’ and Eleanor Ray’s joint show at Re:Vision Gallery explores themes of personal and group storytelling in a wider cultural context. Their visual language goes up, under and through our aesthetic expectations, resulting in thoughtful, engaging work that combines references to deep cultural symbols with unexpected twists that pop.

Eleanor Ray’s Ladder Day, a video and sculpture installation, is inspired by the religious-educational dioramas and videos at the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. Eleanor William's Paper and Bones combines mixed-media sculpture and collage in an experiment in craft. Quilts, books and baskets, all traditional craft forms, are distorted and perhaps perverted, pushing them to the boundary where lines between art and craft cannot be distinguished.

Join us for an opening reception Friday, May 6th, from 4-6:30. The show will run through June 24th.
