SECOND SKY
Leslie Vigeant + Matthew Drennan Wicks
Opening reception: Saturday, March 24, 2018 7-9pm

'Second Sky: The space between two moments can be vast and yet seem perfectly in sync. Time is in constant flux, but moments of beauty seem to possess the ability to withstand its passing.
The work for this show reflects on time’s relationship to perception. Moments of time: past, present, future and their intersections (time-less-ness). Second Sky engages with time as a historical placeholder of the past, a processing of the present, and a mirage of the future.'
LESLIE VIGEANT, Oregon College of Art and Craft, Using the Western construct of femininity as her base, Leslie Vigeant’s work considers the hierarchies of low vs high, expectations vs reality. Leslie has exhibited across the North America including at Cambridge College, Woodbury Art Museum, University of Missouri, Oklahoma State University, and the Winnipeg Underground Film Festival. She has received grants from RACC, Oregon Arts Commission, and UMass Arts Council. Residencies with GLEAN, Artspace Raleigh, Penland School of Crafts and the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. She is co-founder of ongoing feminist collaborative project Lifestyles Unlubricated. Leslie received her MFA in Applied Craft + Design (MFA AC+D) from OCAC and PNCA, and a BFA in Painting from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
MATTHEW DRENNAN WICKS has been both nationally and internationally recognized for his ceramic and non-ceramic based sculpture. His work discusses a process-based exploration of traditional craft in a contemporary context that highlights specific domestic materials and the intrinsic properties of clay.
His work has been showcased throughout the United States as well as Europe and Russia and has been included in permanent collections in Massachusetts, Montana and Denmark. Matthew Drennan Wicks holds a B.F.A. from The University of Montana and a post-baccalaureate degree in Craft from Oregon College of Art and Craft. He is currently living in Tampa, Florida where he is an M.F.A. candidate at University of South Florida.
