Jodi Colella “Phyla”
NKG is pleased to present the newest installation by Jodi Colella, “Phyla”. Her work references the biological world, uses found and manufactured materials, and incorporates a methodical and meditative work practice.
Jodi notes “I create structures that act as metaphors for being human often taking on anthropomorphic gestures and emotions. I want to inspire questions about where an individual ends and the world begins.
Found fishing ropes morph into nerve capillaries, tubes of screen congregate into honeycomb, and wool grows from the crevices of driftwood - as if creating new species. The repetitive handwork techniques mimic the incremental growth and accumulations that happen in nature. I want to engage - to create a physical attraction that beckons the viewer to "touch" and be "touched" by what they see.”
Ms. Colella is a mixed media sculptor and teacher exploring the character of materials while creating abstractions of natural forms. She lives and works in Somerville, MA.
Please join us for the opening reception and meet Jodi Colella in person on Friday June 1, 2012, 5-8pm
