Arts Dialect Gallery gets caught in an Undertow
Posted By Anita Overcash on Fri, May 11, 2012 at 9:52 AM
As most of us know, getting caught in the undertow is serious business. The ocean is powerful, pulling swimmers and ships out to sea in what ususally results in a catastropic ending. Dialect Gallery's upcoming exhibit carries the heavy title of Undertow. However, it's focus is not so much on the literal meaning of the word but rather the allegorical.
Four women - Amy Bagwell, Rae Legrone (see her piece "Balloon" above), Shawn L. Smith and Taryn Rubin (see her piece "Sea Spirits" below) - have created works that relate to the ocean and fall between the lines of fascination and fear. Bagwell, whose works are accompanied by poems, says, "Many of the pieces get at the forces that pull on us and the way we are often drawn to what has the power to destroy us, as with the ocean and tornadoes and doomed love."
Free admission. Opening reception this evening (May 11), from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. Exhibit continues through May 31. Dialect Gallery, 3204 N. Davidson St., Suite C. 704-763-0506. www.dialectdesign.com.
