From the Cloud Lab
Works by Melinda Smith Altshuler
Antelope Valley College Gallery
Exhibition Dates: August 23 - September 17, 2010
Describing the show, the AVC website has this to say: "The Antelope Valley College Art Gallery is proud to open its 2010 Fall season with FROM THE CLOUD LAB, an installation of sculpture and painting by Melinda Smith Altshuler. Altshuler's glowing cloud forms are suspended from the ceiling, transforming the gallery space into an aerial chamber.
"Crafted from tea-stained teabags, paper, repurposed chicken wire, and light, the translucent sculptures appear to drift, some clouds ascending high while a low hanging cloud rains crystal drops. The weightless viewing experience is grounded by a wall of Altshuler's cloud paintings which evoke the installation's sensations of motion and space on canvas." - avc.edu
