ARTS CENTER GALLERY NAZARETH COLLEGE: Concurrence features Mitch Messina & Karen Sardisco in the Arts Center Gallery. Psychic Spaces features Cathy Kirby & Nancy Beikirch in the Colacino Gallery.
went to the opening today. especially enjoyed my friend cathy kirby’s beautiful artwork and mitch messina’s sculptures.
Sculptor Mitch Messina’s pieces are “reminiscent of the forms and functions of pre-industrial tools that have become unfamiliar or lost to us with the rise of industrialization. Messina sees the implements he represents “as allegorical symbols of the inner working of the human struggle to give shape and meaning to an irrational world. I attempt to recapture the tension, precarious balance, complexity and dissonant relationships that exist in our society – a society faced with an ever increasing dehumanization and mechanization away from objects made by hand – creating an alienation between the maker and the finished product.”
