If you are in Fairbanks don’t miss Owen Tucker’s exhibition 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴 on view at the Bear Gallery through Saturday, August 29. And if you are elsewhere, maybe consider an Interior road trip this month!
“Tucker works across collage, mosaic, and sculpture, splicing and grafting found materials into new compositions. A few years ago, after a lifetime of drawing and other mark-making, Tucker traded his pencil for a sharp blade — a shift that opened into a practice of breaking materials down into color, texture, and fragments of meaning, then rebuilding them into something new. Everything is a potential material, from old books to building supplies to the common dandelion, and Tucker’s collage practice has naturally extended into mosaics and quilting. He sees his creative process as closely tied to contemplative practice — more meditation than engineering, built from countless small, repeated acts of attention.”
The Bear Gallery is located on the 3rd floor of the Alaska Centennial Center for the Arts in Pioneer Park and hours are Mon-Sat from 12-6 PM.
This post is part of our series celebrating exhibits and other work by our wonderful gallery members. You can see more about IGCA membership at www.igcaalaska.org/membership.
