RoCo’s annual Members Show opened last night. Their community outreach program is clearly working because RoCo is running out wall space to accommodate one piece from each member. Democratically hung, floor to ceiling, the show always manages to look especially good.
I found three pieces particularly engaging. Colleen Buzzard’s three dimensional drawing is sculptural but it also plays with the wall itself and the light in the room. The various elements appear in active conversation with each other and the viewer.
Bradley Butler is the former director of Main Street Arts in Clifton Springs. His own work has always struck me as rather mysterious considering he spent so much time in that cheery space. His diptych above is mysterious and beautiful at the same time.
This photograph by Jovana Babovic was given the Visual Studies Workshop Award so I wasn’t the only one attracted to it. The small photo in the big mat is dramatic. The warm mat and the cool photo is a striking contrast. But most of all the piece is very human. That sounds funny considering every piece in the show was made by a human but I feel that quality most here.
