Opening Reception, Friday, December 8, 2017
Exhibition continues through Friday, January 5, 2018
Yuji Hiratsuka and Candace Miller
“The human body along with other elements – fruits, vegetables, furniture, animals, etc. – have been my most recent focus.”
“The enigmatic figures I draw are reflections of the human conditions that people often find themselves in, in their daily lives: humor, wryness, satire, whimsy, irony, paradox, pathos or mismatch.”
“My figures also employ a state of motion or movement suggesting an actor/actress who narrates a story in a play.” … Yuji Hiratsuka
Gallery guests were intrigued with the artists discussions.
“My work for this show explores life, death, sex and transitions through cabinets of curiosities and a sculptural tableau.” … Candace Miller
Candace Millers delighted guests with tales of her Cabinets of Curiosities.
Questions from guests always lead to a deeper understanding of the artist’s intent.
Candace Miller and Bill Durovchec
Bill delighted us with descriptions of his amazing whimsical toys and machines …
… complete with demonstrations.
“Reducing efficiency through creativity.” … Bill Durovchic and his Futility Machine.
