Reception and artist’s talk, Friday, April 18 at 12:30 p.m.

Prudence Roberts, Curator, Helzer Gallery writes:

Trude Parkinson has long been fascinated with the human form, and with its mortality. We are, after all, composed of elements and chemicals that link us to the material world of water, rocks, dust, and earth. Yet she also is intrigued with the idea of what she terms “spirit and soul beyond the material.”

In the body of work she titles Elusives, Parkinson uses unstable materials such as metallic paints that oxidize, change and darken. Like our bodies, her paintings suggest the inherent instabilities and beauties of human existence. In these explorations, she intertwines strength and fragility in equal measure.
