July 28, join LaFontsee Galleries at their Douglas location for their second round of artist demonstrations. Observe the fascinating techniques of two different sculptors.
Cara O’Brien specializes in organic objects hand-formed out of porcelain and found objects, Inspired by microscopic designs in nature, O’Brien creates life-like elements in clay. She emphasizes texture and shape over color, bringing out the essential qualities of her materials and transforming them into pieces bursting with life.
David Huang hammers metals such as copper and gold to create luminous vessels. Hammering and molding, Huang is sensitive to the nature of the materials he uses. They maintain their specific identity, lending their original properties and innate knowledge to his ideas. Huang’s work is a demonstration of the beauty and brilliance that can result from a sensitive collaboration between the human and material worlds.
Artists will personally show their hands-on approach as they answer questions and discuss their ideas.
This event is free and open to the public from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, July 28.
The Douglas Gallery is located at 410 W center Street, Douglas, MI 49406. Everyone is Welcome, Dress is Casual, Admission is Free. For more information contact the gallery at 616–451–3850, or visit their website at www.lafontsee.us.
