We Walk Wounded: Molly Epstein at Gallery4Culture
Posted by Marlow Harris under Art , Exhibits , Seattle NewsNo Comments
Molly Epstein will be having a solo exhibition of new work at Gallery4Culture, that opens this Thursday 8/5. Molly has worked with doctors creating medical devices that not only save lives, but are also beautiful, and this translates into some very interesting and dynamic work.
Molly’s interactive sculpture and jewelry express a deep understanding of the history of body adornment and its ability to influence the psyche. The goal of achieving equilibrium is central to Molly Epstein’s art: “My work is about healing, both physical and emotional. I am on an unending quest to find this balance. Whether it is through making surgical instruments, jewelry, or sculpture, the mission is the same.”
The exhibit at Gallery4Culture includes a large-scale kinetic sculpture, a group of abstract, wall-hung pieces, and a series of brooches created from materials and inspiration drawn from healing and medical environments.
The opening at Gallery4Culture will be from 6-8pm and the show runs until August 27th.
The creation of this work was made possible in part by an Artist Trust Grants for Artist Projects (GAP) and an Individual Artist Project Grant from 4Culture. Find out more at www.artisttrust.org and www.4culture.org.
