KALEID Gallery is proud to present:
Rewired
Jonathan Kermit solo exhibition
Artist’s Reception: First Friday April 4th 5pm–9pm
As a long time collector of urban flotsam, I have always been attracted to the cast offs, the leavings. For the past 15 years, bits of discarded, twisted, rusty wire have provided the basis of my work. These salvaged fragments have been stepped on, run over, rained on and buried.
Using subtle manipulation, I intuitively, often without a preconceived plan, shape the wire into smooth organic forms. I incorporate a myriad of papers and imagery, along with metal objects and the occasional rusty hippo.
This exhibit features mostly new work along with a handful of favorite older arrangements and several reworked pieces—I love recycling my own work.
