Sight Between
Michal Sagar
Form+Content Gallrery will participate in Twin Cities Art Week, October 16 -20
Form+Content Gallery presents Sight Between. New works by Michal Sagar.
Michal Sagar invites you to explore the space between dreams and states of consciousness in an intimate environment — with large multimedia drawings, a “Mud God” made of clay, and hundreds of suspended floating elements. Each piece begins with a gestural expression of the hand, from the initial searching graphite lines on paper to the wet dark clay of a life-size ceramic creature. Moving from two-dimensional drawings to three-dimensional sculpture, from the young eyes of a boy to the ancient eyes of a “Mud God”, from mammals to avians — all the work in this show speaks of a yearning for transformation.
