Untitled Document

recent sculpture by Randy Walker
By a Thread


July 14 – September 8, 2005
The Gage Family Art Gallery
Augsburg College

Opening reception
Thursday, July 13, 6 - 8 p.m.

Randy Walker’s wrapped and woven three-dimensional spaces are vibrant, tenuous, and audacious.  Simple strands of fiber become a complex nexus of color and form as the artist fills and defines sculptural volumes.  Like a spider in search of a suitable site to build its web, Walker first seeks out frameworks to serve as looms.  These “armatures,” as the artist refers to them, are often mundane, found objects such as saws and metal mesh that possess their own inherent logic.  Walker responds to these idiosyncrasies by regularly inventing techniques for working.  The repetition of action over hours and days and weeks records both the passage of time and movement in space.  
   
Walker has an architecture degree from the University of Oregon.  He has received numerous grants and public art commissions and his artwork has been featured in a variety of group exhibitions around the U.S.  This solo exhibition at Augsburg is his first.
