Wool Glaciers and Melting Ice at gallery4Culture
Seattle-based artists Sara Osebold and Vaughn Bell launch Gallery4Culture’s new season September 3rd with their environmentally conscious exhibition Melt.
Osebold has constructed a large wool glacier as a kind of tribute to nature. Displayed in the gallery as a floor installation, her construction is reminiscent of a long cloak or security blanket.
During a recent February spent in Vermont, Vaughn Bell monitored the ice on a local stream as it melted in an unseasonable thaw. Bell has created a video installation in which the image of frozen ice hangs in the space, a video projection on a circular disc, resembling the moon. It gradually melts, revealing more and more open water, recalling how the full moon wanes.
Performance/demonstration during First Thursday, September 3rd at 7pm. Gallery4Culture, 101 Prefontaine Pl S, Seattle. Open Monday through Friday 9:00 am–5:00 pm. Call (206) 296-8674 for more information.
