Roger Barry is a sculptor of wood. He produces furniture, abstract sculpture, and, featured in this exhibition: Reliquaries. Barry writes “Working with wood is in my blood. My great-grandfather published The Lumberman’s Actuary and my grandfather and father were in the lumber milling business. In 1975 I received a BFA in wood sculpture from Eastern Michigan University. Secret locks have intrigued me all my life. Many of my reliquaries incorporate hidden mechanisms which enhance the interaction with the piece. After the process of creation, I love to display a sculpted box and say, “open it.”
Alston Stoney Conley graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston in 1974, and is on the faculty of the Fine Arts Department of Boston College. His work in watercolor features landscapes with trees, water and clouds at sunset/sunrise. Conley says:
“I live under a New England sky. The light, its color, intensity, sensation, season, and length of day influence my psyche, mood, interior life and art practice. The long hours of daylight during summer and short hours during winter define our seasons, influence our lives, and distance us from our southern neighbors. The low sun, color-rich light and long shadows of early morning or end of the day often silhouette the horizon or individual trees in shadow, while the light fills the sky.”
Admission is free and light refreshments will be served. Centre St Arts Gallery, LLC, is open 7 days a week during the summer, Monday through Saturday 10:30 am to 5:00 pm, and Sunday 12 noon to 4:00 pm. For more information, please call 207-452-0300, or visit the Gallery at 11 Centre Street, Bath.
