Certainly one of the most talented and hard-working artists in the region is none-other than Plus Gallery's own Kate Petley, last featured at the gallery with her wonderful solo exhibition "One Big Dream." Selections from that exhibition along with a dynamic new installation by the artist will surface in March at the Fort Lewis College Art Gallery in Durango. The exhibition opens March 3rd and will be on view through the 26th of the month.
From the Press release: Petley works in resin and mixed media, installations, and public commissions. Referring to the intersection of nature and the urban environment, this exhibition will feature two site specific installations and two dimensional works. Kate Petley received a B.F.A. cum laude (1976) from the University of Utah and her site-specific installations, public commissions, and exquisite studio works have received awards including an NEA Rockefeller Foundation Grant. This term "The Fruit Stare" has been used to describe the process by which the Orangutan locates a food source, using the least amount of physical energy possible. According to field researchers, the Orangutan is said to "have a more internal approach to tasks. They have been observed to sit in a tree canopy for hours, and then suddenly go over to a batch of fruit that it discovered simply by sitting still, whereas other apes for the same task would go from tree to tree in search." This exhibition is generously funded by a grant from the Ballantine Family Fund.
