KALEID Gallery is proud to present:

Wild Wire by resident artist Jonathan Kermit

Opens first Friday October 2nd, 5pm–9pm

Discarded twisted, rusty wire forms the basis of my current work. Working intuitively with a vague sense of plan, I coax and join bits of wire into anthropomorphic shapes, whimsical forms and dream like objects. I incorporate details on paper from other areas of interest which include drawing, collage, cyanotype and found images. I became a collector of urban flotsam at a very young age, picking up rusty bits and oddments that I would stash in small boxes. About a dozen years ago I started collecting rusty wire which turned into an obsession and eventually found its way into my artwork. As an ardent recycler, it gives me a certain sense of satisfaction being able to turn a small bit of landfill trash into something else.

Exhibition dates: October 2–30, 2020
Gallery Hours: Fridays 5–9pm & Saturdays 12–5pm from October 2nd–30th. Free admission. Social distancing and masks required at all times in the gallery.
