CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Zoomorphism: Finding Natural Impressions in Humanized Materials
  Works\nby Jason Lyons August 26\, 2022 - September 25\, 2022 Ventures G
 allery\nOpening Reception: Friday\, August 26\, 2022 (5pm to 7pm). “Sinc
 e I\ncan remember I have always been drawn to the natural world\, either\n
 through time spent camping and hiking or days spent exploring the\nlocal j
 unkyards and scrap piles. I joke that as a child I was the one\nwatching M
 utual of Omaha’s “Wild Kingdom” instead of the local\nbaseball team.
  At the same time\, art\, and the creation of it\, was also\na constant in
  my life\, preferring mediums which always gravitated to\n3-dimensional wo
 rk. Today\, inspiration comes from looking at the\ncorrelation between the
  ‘tools’ and objects that have been created\nfor human intention and h
 ow these items correspond to organic shapes\nfound in the natural world. I
  look for these shapes buried within\nobjects. I then utilize these shapes
  and reinterpret them into the\nanatomical structures that make up the org
 anic sculptures I create.\nHonoring the past histories and owners of the m
 aterials I use is also\na major inspiration driving the creation of my scu
 lptures. Who worked\nwith a pruning saw to an extent that leaves it with a
  paint rubbed\npatina that can never be replicated? Or the child who enjoy
 ed a toy\ncar such that the wheels were literally worn away? So\, honoring
  these\ncherished items gives them new life through re-interpretation in m
 y\nsculptures. In the end\, creating beauty from many common and in some\n
 cases mundane everyday objects. Many times sculptures are born from\nthe i
 nspiration of a single item. This launches a process in which\nadditional 
 materials are then gathered and the sculpture grows from\nthere in depicti
 on of the original vision. Through upbringing and an\ninherent passion for
  the discarded object\, I have developed a unique\nperspective and talent 
 to visually dissect\, re-interpret and then\nre-purpose the materials foun
 d in my sculptures. I look for the\npotential in every object\, as a valua
 ble contributor to the sculptures\nI create.” Venue: Rehoboth Art League
