\r\n\r\nAnnette Turow’s complex collages and Linda Robinson Gordon’s mixed media sculpture create a dynamic relationship in this exhibition. Working with various materials such as copper wire, mud, and paper, Robinson Gordon’s work speaks to a subtle beauty and delicate craftsmanship. Turow’s collages compliment these organic, natural sculptures referencing the human body and abstracted forms.
