Event details: Travis Graves: 2008 Open Exhibition Winner
Description
Target Gallery
This years Open Exhibition winner is Tennessee Sculptor and professor Travis Graves. Graves work consists of actual logs that are displayed using visually uncomfortable balancing acts. Using lead and magnets, some of his work makes the obviously heavy logs feel weightless, with some pieces floating in space or frozen in motion as they appear to be exploding from the wall in multiple pieces. He states, Sometimes our relationships are even, consistent, harmonious, and balanced. At other times it becomes more irregular, setting us off balance with ourselves and putting in motion consequences.
