Jody Danner Walker -- Beneath the Surface

"Beneath the Surface: Yellowstone Caldera"

Exhibited in August 2008 at Artworks Gallery, Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Also exhibited from September to December 2008 at Anderson Center for the Arts, Anderson, Indiana

"Yellowstone National Park is among America’s greatest wonders and a personal source of artistic inspiration. These pieces depict abstract memories of the ever-changing light, vivid colors, and distinctive textures and patterns experienced and documented on-site. The caldera, formed by ancient volcanic craters, is marked by the constant moving and shifting of the earth’s surface, as though being alive. My work captures the mood of those transformations and expresses the majesty of Nature. Combining the solid form of glass sculpture with light refraction and layers of painterly color, the pieces become abstract expressions of nature’s beauty."
