The Open Gallery welcomes artists Christina Zimmer Robinson and Sarah Wolfe for a new exhibition, titled These Roads Don’t Move.  This series of work by both artists springs from their recent On-Ramp collaboration, a program funded by the IAC for artists in Indiana.

Robinson writes that the pieces in These Roads Don't Move are a representation of the evolving nature of her work. The series was conceived at a moment when she sought to focus on control, structure, and the harmonious relationships between colors. As a self-taught maker, Robinson allows herself the freedom to explore various mediums and styles: abstraction, portraiture, sculpture, and textile work.

Wolfe also characterizes her work for this exhibition as exploratory and flights of freedom from the many duties they both juggle as wives, mothers and working artists.  While she agrees that the two bodies of her work for this show may seem disparate, the abstract floral pieces are “a joyous, freeing exploration of color and textures gleaned from the outside world. The anatomical works are simply the inverse--an examination of our potentially gloriously interesting innards.”

These Roads Don’t Move will open on Friday, Nov. 4 from 5- 8 p.m. at The Open Gallery, 329 Main Street and will run to mid-December.  Both artists will be on hand to discuss their artworks with patrons. We think you will agree that these roads do, in fact, move, quite interestingly and inspirationally.
