The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts continues its Featured Artist series this year with new works by Ellie Reinhold, Jason Smith, and Evelyn Ward: a painter, a sculptor, and a potter play side by side.
While considering a title for this three person show, Smith, Ward and Reinhold sifted through lots of words in an effort to evoke their creative commonalities. Many came from geometry – intersection, structure, converge, planes, parallels, perspective – which crops up in all of their work. And then there were the words evoking the element of play... natural, spontaneous, essential.
In the end, each is focused on some essential geometric and process-oriented dialogue within their work, and they are definitely running and playing with it!
Parallel Play can be seen at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts April 24th through May 21st with an opening reception on Friday, April 28th from 6-9pm.
