The bold scale of ‘Suspension vs Gravity’ is awe inspired. Large scale, site specific sculpture by @susanferrarirowley #RIT #ritartdesign #rituniversitygallery #artsinrochester #sculpture #venicebiennale #femalesculptor #femalesculptors . . .
Join us for a reception on Friday, January 24, 4:30 - 6:30 for Susan Ferrari Rowley, an American sculptor whose contribution to the visual arts platform is significant within Contemporary Sculpture. A pioneer in the use of fabric as a purely sculptural medium, Ferrari Rowley transcends the description of fiber artist to contemporary sculptor and challenges the viewer’s perception of material, structure and experience in a space. She boldly leans into the male dominated sculptor platform and intentionally makes work that is devoid of a socio-political feminist context that invites a collective universal visual experience. In Suspension vs Gravity, Ferrari Rowley’s architecturally inspired sculptural forms are designed specifically for the two-story RIT University Gallery space. With the accentuation of negative space and dramatic shadow play, these dramatic sculptures simultaneously defy and exploit the wall surfaces, floors, and lighting in the gallery. #rituniversitygallery #susanferrarirowley #rochesternyartist #venicebiennale #sculpture #contemporaryart #contemporarysculpture #contemporarysculptures
