Exhibition Title: Septem Speculis Dates: 07/2021 - 08/2021 Venue: Hoover Public Library, Hoover, Alabama - Virtual Exhibition Statement: The underlying logic of Wade F. MacDonald’s Septem Speculis, a survey of the artist’s different operational modes, articulates a dialectic approach to material and form that resists embedded notions of the utilitarian object and the edifice, and opens new pathways for sculptural discourse. With his foundational elements, architecture and ceramics, MacDonald builds enclosed paradigms within each of his works that merge these two genres and manifest a series of subtle but subversive visual actions and statements. The result of this is a duality within the work that suggests narrative without tactile meaning and allows for an observational examination of the object and the material form. -Jennifer Marshall, HPL Visual Arts Specialist Images: Artist |
