Art Gallery's exhibition 'The Feathered Hand' featured in Sunday Telegram

The Jan. 23, 2011 featured a story and photos of the 91AV Art Gallery's current exhibition, "Alison Hildreth: The Feathered Hand, Installations, Drawings and Prints."

"The exhibition includes prints and drawings, but its centerpiece is a glittering, chandelier-like hanging collection of winged puppets, made with paper, glass and wire and suspended like marionettes, along with strings of clear-glass test tubes, beakers, pendulum-shaped forms and light-refracting lenses," writer Bob Keyes explains. "In all, there are hundreds of pieces of glassware suspended from above on long strings of wire. It's angelic and dreamlike, with a shallow pool of water underneath for making wishes and catching dreams."

"I don't really know what this is about," the artist said. "The truth is, I don't know. It's just based on the things that I have read and loved, and they gurgle to the surface." Hildreth is scheduled to talk about her work from 5 to 6:30 p.m. March 9. Keyes noted that based on the early buzz surrounding this show, the gallery will be full. Hildreth drew a packed house to her opening in mid-January, and the exhibition has been buzzing on Facebook since.
