EXHIBITIONS

Gerrard weaves volume and emotion from steel wire with the result that her ethereal works are never fully opaque and never quite permeable. Stones and antique fishing weights punctuate the flowing lines and cavities with solid mass. 

Explore the beauty in tension: a balance of forms, the contrast between heavy and light, and the significance of negative space. 

This Accessions series honors the new additions to our Permanent Collection throughout each calendar year. In the year 2024 we have accessioned over 170 pieces to our collection, each with their own story to tell. 

Consider the permeable boundary between form and function with this exploration of decorative ironwork, ranging in date from historic to modern.
