Titled ๐๐ฆ๐ญ ๐๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ฌ: ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ, ๐๐ค๐ถ๐ญ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ, ๐๐ข๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ opens on November 13th with artist reception from 1-5pm. The exhibition runs until January 8th, 2022.

Mel Kendrickโs practice has involved the use of cast bronze, concrete, a variety of woods, rubber, resin, as well as investigations with cast paper. Kendrick addresses philosophical, conceptual, and fundamental questions around sculpture: namely, the relationship between the object as we experience it and the means by which it was created.
