Installation
Opening Reception Sat. July 7th
WINDOWS at NEWBERRY

GALLERY HOURS 24/7
Millicent Young’s sculpture is this month’s installation in WINDOWS at NEWBERRY located at 236 Main St, Saugerties, NY opens with a reception for the artist on Sat. July 7th, 5-8pm.
Three sculptures by Millicent Young are featured in the WINDOWS at NEWBERRY, a 24/7 exhibit in the 10 foot high windows facing Main Street in Saugerties NY. Each artwork alternates between awareness and a dream-like state through the everchanging shifts between daylight and nighttime offered by the glass windows. Young‘s sculptures are poems that evolve in response to the time of day: in the strength of the mid-afternoon sun, the artworks seem to disappear but in the evening, the forms re-emerge as their filaments capture and vibrate under the spotlights that illuminate them. Millicent Young’s lines and shapes capture the trembling edges of nature and the layered luminosity of horse hair express a space and being defined by memory and consciousness.
Millicent Young’s Installation in the WINDOWS at NEWBERRY is sponsored by 11 Jane Street Art and Cross Contemporary Art. The exhibition is open 24/7 with a reception for the artist Sat. July 7th 5-8pm.
