"Southern Spirit"
River Gallery 400 East Second Street, City of Chattanooga, Tennessee 37405
Our February exhibit, "Southern Spirit", features artists who have southern ties that concentrate on the ephemeral essence of nature and memory. James Conner captures an instance in time that evokes a sense of recollection or a returning to one's roots. With his sustainable baskets, Matt Tommey interlaces the complementary elements of the organic with the sculptural. Barbara Odil's figurative work is akin to a totem used by indigenous people to conjure respect for the natural world, walking through a wood and discovering something from the past. Opening Reception: Friday, February 7*, 2014 - 6:30-8:00 pm
