Lauren Nye
"Recollect"
July 5 - August 14, 2011
Reception: July 15, 2011 6-10pm
The Yellow Wall Gallery at the Midtown Scholar Bookstore is pleased to present “Recollect”, an exhibit of bronze and paper sculptures by Lauren Nye. This body of work is a spontaneous and intuitive investigation of the transformation that takes place when two unlikely materials meet. Bronze pouring is a traditional process that is merged with the non-traditional material of paper.
Lauren uses dense recycled paper as a surface which to pour the bronze. The resulting sculpture take on an aged, deteriorated appearance as dictated by the intuitive process of the bronze burning away and replacing the paper surfaces. The viewer is presented with a sculpture that is a compelling study of the realization of forms from the juxtaposition of materials.
Lauren Nye is an artist located in Harrisburg, PA, with her BFA in sculpture from Millersville University. She was an installation assistant to the exhibition “Translating Lost,” in Milan, Italy, and at the Venice Biennale. She opened her first solo exhibition, “Communion” in 2010, and is the current gallery manager at Isadore Gallery in Lancaster, PA.
The exhibition will be at the gallery from July 5 to August 14, 2011. A reception for the artist will occur on July 15, 2011 from 6-10pm at the gallery. Light refreshments will be served.
