This exhibit focuses on the unique aspects of three-dimensional expression, such as the use of space, light, multiple points of view, tactile elements, kinetic potential, and interactive possibilities. How do you understand the world, how can you change the world, how can you share the world?

Explore the height, width, and depth of your creativity. Find expression in the message you wish to impart, the diversity of materials you choose, the beauty of your design, and the excellence of your craftsmanship.

ABOUT THE JUROR:  Chris Kane

Artist Statement

I have traveled three paths in my career in art. As an educator I have been teaching high schoolers drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and design, to prepare them for art college and careers in the arts. As a foundry owner, modeler, and mold maker, I have worked to bring the sculpture projects of a multitude of artists to life in bronze, aluminum, and plaster. As a figurative sculptor, I have made many site-specific works for private clients and municipalities. My experiences have deepened my appreciation for sculptures of all types, abstract to representational, in materials as varied as the imagination.
