VISUAL ARTS

George Sherwood’s traditional sculpture oeuvre explores aesthetic systems of space, time and the dynamic relationships of objects in motion. The choreography of each piece is governed by a set of basic movements, facilitated by an arrangement of rotating joints and aerodynamic surfaces. Peter Lipsitt, exhibiting exciting new work, builds with cement and hydrocal, sensuous liquid-into-solid materials, with inclusions of repurposed wood, steel, and copper. Bit players in the narrative include his out-of-studio "assistants," Vermont beavers (Castor canadensis) which prepared saplings for several sculptures.
