CAROL GOEBEL [[image - composition]] Forceps Woman Iron and wire 18" x 6" x 4" (C)1983 Photo: Vera Scalingi I am involved in the transformation of fragments, which have had a utilitarian life, into figurative works of art. These symbolic sculptures evoke feelings of opposites - tension and internal conflict versus symmetry and simplicity. ALEX GORODINE [[image - composition]] Feather Fence Acrylic on canvas, iron, feathers, fabric, paper 36" x 53" x 7" (C)1984 The strings, rocks, branches, grass, feathers and other objects take on a mystical aura through the blending of primitive and ritual objects: thus his work alludes directly to this continent's past but at the same time the composition, color and use of collage prove it to be an innovative art. The work leads us into profound reflection on the difference between essence and existence, between illusion and reality, between memory and dream.
