Repose

Mother Nature’s trash is local artists Marc Foster and Micah Crandall-Bear’s treasure. The two artists bring their installation “Repose” to the Beatnik “Pit.” Repose is an expression of respect for Earth’s elemental resources. It is an examination of our ever-shifting balance with nature.

As this two-dimensional and three-dimensional artist come together, totally distinctive approaches to how materials convey “abstract simplicity” merge. Crandall-Bear’s technique for layered painting applied to the normally monochromatic surfaces of Foster’s steel and wood work delivers qualities of simple, elegant, industrial coalescence. The materials and creative visions yield a boundless relationship, conversation, and thoughtfully fresh expression.
