Colonies

Dyan Green: “Colonies”

Clamp Light gallery started off 2013 with a great exhibition by local San Antonio artist, Dyan Green in the gallery space.  If you missed her exhibit in Jan., you definitely want to get the chance to see her work in person.  The attention to detail with the found objects that she alters is amazing and beautiful!

Originally from Kansas, Dyan Green is a locally-based artist and educator who primarily uses found objects and everyday materials to create sculptures, installations, and two-dimensional works. Her new series “Colonies” begins with the collection of disparate items that straddle the boundaries between rusted antiques and disused junk. Green then creates sculptures by adorning these objects with thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of pins — a process she describes as “a human attempt at hive-building and an investigation of what a colony has left behind.”
