very engaging. Used in combination with paint or other materials, the contrast can be dynamic. This exhibition, juried by Brian Ferrell, features work created with wood where shape, material, and surface texture imply compositionalmovement. An Object in Motion exhibition will be on display Feb. 4 - 25 during Sweetwater’s gallery hours.  Admission to the reception and exhibition are FREE!
