Tara Conley will have her third one person show at New Gallery/Thom Andriola with a preview on May 1st. The featured elements in the latest exhibition are bronze and mixed media word works on the wall. These are created with color and a curvilinear script that appear as if her biomorphic sculpture shapes have acquired their own verbal language.

Tara has been recording phrases she has overheard since 1996.  They are surprising in their context but strikingly quite straightforward.  Her collection has grown to over 450 phrases.  Recently she began writing out some of these in wax, then casting in bronze the words to recreate text and shadow on the wall.  While the bronze is a permanent record of the once audible phrase, the shadow reiterates the original voice and appears on the wall like an echo.
 
The show continues through May 31st.
