Holly Wilson

What Lies Beneath

Opening January 16, 6-8 pm

“Boy’s View”, 2009, 4.5” x 4” x 4”, bronze, geode rock

Goldesberry Gallery is excited to enter into 2010 with a solo exhibition of the intimate bronze, mixed-media, and encaustic relief sculptures of Holly Wilson.  Inspired by stories real and imaginary, Wilson’s spirit figures draw on the reality and legends of her Delaware and Cherokee background.  Her cast of characters can stand alone or speak to each other, intertwining fragments of her nature, culture, and family.  The result is figures that are delicate and engaging, quizzical and innocent, grounded and otherworldly.  The opening will be held on Saturday, January 16 from 6 – 8 p.m., and the exhibition will continue through February 13.
