Wood turned sculptures by Michael Brolly
December 8, 2001 - January 27, 2002
Michael
Brolly, Baron Von Baseball
One
of the most innovative artists working in wood-turning today, Michael
Brolly was the subject of a 20-year retrospective of his works
in Cradle to Cradle, in the Erie Art Museum ground floor galleries.
Intrigued by what he calls "fragmental turnings" and
multi-axis work, Brolly demonstrates remarkable technical skill
using the lathe to produce creations very unlike normal wood-turnings.
Brolly received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Kutztown
University in 1981. Since then he has exhibited in numerous one-man
and group exhibitions, and has received numerous awards, including
first place in the American Woodworkers show at Fort Washington,
Pennsylvania in 1999. |
