New Exhibition at The Center for Craft, Creativity and Design: Torqued & Twisted: Bentwood Today
February 10 through June 29, gallery hours 12PM - 5PM at The Center for Craft, Creativity and Design, 1181 Broyles Road, between Hwy 64 and South Rugby in Hendersonville, NC - Opening Reception: Friday, Feb. 10 from 5-7 PM. Torqued & Twisted: Bentwood Today. Co-curated by Katie Lee and Tom Loeser, this exhibition explores the work of nine furniture makers and sculptors who use the technique of bending wood in innovative, unusual and eloquent ways.
Wood bending is typically accomplished through one of three approaches: Ñsteaming, laminating or greenwood bending. Steaming requires the application of heat and moisture to allow the wood fibers to bend and slide against each other. Greenwood bending uses freshly cut smaller diameter saplings, often willow, which are inherently flexible due to the high moisture content in the freshly cut wood.
Bentwood came to symbolize the modern movement in furniture design, but it still offers a tempting territory for a range of aesthetic and formal explorations. The artists/designers in this exhibition push the limits of wood bending to create extraordinary functional and sculptural works of art that are conceptually challenging and expand understanding and expectations of wood as a material.
This exhibit was funded, in part, by a Grassroots Grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources, with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts; administered by the Arts Council of Henderson County.

Color Study provides a lively discourse between contemporary and historical works and tackles a variety of critical issues surrounding color. The works in this exhibition use color as their primary means of expression. Whatever their stance on these issues, the artists in Color Study all share a steadfast devotion to the exploration of color. For these artists, color is not a mere descriptor; instead, it is a provocative and powerful force. More details here.
