Artist’s Talk: Thursday July 15 – 6 p.m.

The Art Gallery of Sudbury presents an exhibition of sculptural works by artist Lyn Carter and Carl Taçon entitled Skin Deep in which the idea of skin or surface is explored conceptually.

The skin bounding an object, body, or space is a momentary pause between sometimes vastly different worlds. Stone and cloth figure differently in this light. One speaks of buildings and façades, the other has the soft touch of the body, though each envelops. The fascination, magic and mystery of any material entity is the curiosity of what lies within and beyond the surface. But surface can be deceptive. It appears to define what it contains yet often belies the true nature of its interior. Carter and Taçon are both attracted to the shifting guise that the notion of surface of “skin” has to offer. Engaging this elusive quality makes apparent a place of disjuncture between the tangible and that which is imagined.
