Three Graces Under Pressure: Concert Report

The Gallery I did my review on was at Illinois Central College in room 336B. The show was called “Three Graces Under Pressure” by Patrica McWilliams, Sherri Denault, and Margie Glass Sula. The artwork together felt very calming, peaceful, and abstract. There is wood artwork that has some kind of carving. The artistists call this artwork “Tinted Graphite on Wood Panel”. There is also some type of white clay sculptures sitting on a tree branch or either on a pedestal. Another part of the artwork is a couple abstract paintings. The paintings look like they were painted with impasto technique. Threads created the other part of the artwork. The threads were designed and molded a certain way hanging on the wall.

The crow takes up most of the space in the piece and the shape is square around the crow. In my opinion, this piece has implied motion. The crow looks like its about to take flight and fly
