August 25th through September 23rd ...and we all fall down Mixed Media Assemblage by Sharon M Bankert Opening Reception on Friday, August 25th, 2006, 7-10pm In the installation “…we all fall down” artist Sharon M Bankert continues her exploration of the human condition—our surroundings, beliefs, fears and mortality.  Her combination of imagery and audio create a familiar, yet uncomfortable place.  Using photo-collage and beeswax as her main media, the end result is an embalmed visual story.  Sometimes a full chapter, other times an introduction.  Her insatiable curiosity and yearning for discovery lead her to more questions without having the previous ones answered.  The installation will include a wooden box that sits on a metal stand in the middle of the space. The box contains a collage of imagery alluding to questions surrounding mortality and consequences. The box is sealed with beeswax and filled with water, providing a reflective quality as the audience peers into the box.  A muted audio loop of a popular children's nursery rhyme lingers in the background. On the walls is a combination of 2 dimensional collage works that create a dialog between the sculpture, music, and audience. Ironton Studios is open Monday through Friday from 10 to 4, and Saturdays from 12 to 4. Next Up: September 29th – October 28th Jill Hadley Hooper Large Paintings More on our upcoming events...
