About the Show:
What is more projective than a doll in parody of the human form? What provokes more contemplation than the archetypal image of an altar or shrine? And what engenders fiercer attachment that the overvalued relationship with a fetish object?
How do we depict devotion if we circumvent the standard dogma and rhetoric of organized religion; what are those core factors that give us pause, that encourage our reflection, and that have caused the human spirit over the millennia to assemble objects that help us feel safe, connected, holy and in control?
In the show Objects of Focus: Shrines, Dolls and Fetishes, opening March 26 at Nina Gaby’s Studio and Gallery in Pond Village, Brookfield, 12 regional and national artists explore visual connection to the object, utilizing a variety of representational techniques.
Both the studio and the gallery are located in the former Green Trails Inn innkeeper's quarters, across from the floating bridge to the left of the old horse barn. Hours as posted or by appointment.
