"Glass Platform" by Marina BerioIn her curatorial debut Mary Daly Pattee has a smashing success with Outside In at the la viola bank gallery.
Showing 6 artists, Daphne Arthur, Marina Berio, Diane Carr, Mira O'Brien, Leighton Pierce, and Christopher Saunders; the standout pieces were glass platform by Mira O'Brien a mixed media installation of images of a leafless canopied blue sky covered in glass that looked as though it had been trampled by the stilettos of fashion weeks models (if they were a bit heavier). Christopher Saunders' entire series of oil paintings were amazing in their ability to simultaneously express a flat one-dimensionality with the expansiveness of unending atmospheric space while playing with perspective.
Additionally, The video installation by Leighton Pierce downstairs was comprised of three simultaneously running projections of what appeared to be the same bench and its interactions with a mysterious woman set in the woods. The video was dizzyingly out of focus and frenetic in it's movements but in whole it drew you into the piece and the abstract beauty of the colors of nature rather than being distracting.
