We are pleased to announce an exhibition True Whimsy by Charlyn Reynolds on July 26 (Thu) to 28 (Sat), as a result of her activity during her stay at Studio Kura.
Charlyn Reynolds is specialized in combining hot glass sculpting with various medias. She is currently a second year Master of Fine Art Candidate in Intermedia-Glass at the University of Texas-Arlington in Arlington, Texas. Charlyn received her BFA in 2011 at Illinois State University in glass, under the instruction of John Miller.
She has worked for both the Toledo Museum of Art and the Corning Museum of Glass.
Here are some words from the artist herself.
True Whimsey depicts fantastical creatures in their golden habitat. The title is satirical, as neither the gold nor the creatures are “real”. The materiality of the camp exuberance of gold beckons my viewers. Questions will arise about the true nature of this fantastical scene and the absurdity of it all.
