Opening reception: Friday, November 5, 5-7:30 p.m. Artist talk at 5:00 p.m.
The Gage Family Art Gallery
The Chilean-born sculptor Alonso Sierralta explores the theme of immigration in “Transplant,” which opens in the Gage Family Art Gallery on Friday, November 5 and closes Sunday, December 19.
By sculpting wood into organic forms and motifs from nature such as pods, seeds, grass, and roots, Sierralta creates objects that in his words invoke “dispersion and growth, symbolizing relocation and prosperity in another land.” Sierralta currently teaches at Concordia University in St. Paul.
The opening reception will be Friday, November 5, from 5-7:30 p.m. and will feature an artist talk at 5:00 p.m.
All events are free and open to the public.
