Silver is the metallic shade that resembles gray. The visual sensation usually associated with the metal silver is its metallic shine, which is due to the material’s brightness varying with the surface angle in relation to the light source.
A reflection on a cloud which has a silver gleam of sunlight along one edge, the ‘silver lining’ to the cloud caused by light when the sun is just behind it causes the top layer of the cloud to look lighter, as it is thinner and less dense than the rest of the cloud.
All artists in the exhibition have selected materials for their works that are silver or have the appearance of reflective silver. These materials are used to engage and manipulate light, which the collective works combine information to immerse the gallery in a reflective glow. Laddie John Dill welds and polishes high-grade aircraft aluminum to manipulate light to create volume and movement on the surface. Joe Goode creates a sense of light and reflection with his pastel drawings. Robert Billings makes intricate and detailed silver sculptural pieces. Scott Benzel creates shiny silver plated aluminum sculptures. Jimi Gleason employs silver deposit in his luxurious silver painting. Laurie Reid applies crushed silver coated mirror on paper. Michelle Grabner makes elegant use of silverpoint in panel. Jay Lizo uses a metallic paint on flattened sphere sculptures. Yogi Proctor transforms window space with silver tinted two-way mirror vinyl. Karen Lofgren works in cast aluminum as the basis or her assemblage. Kathryn Van Dyke utilizes the play of light with mirror pieces in her hanging sculpture.
