In God’s Country
Landscapes of the Mind 

January 22 to April 29
Artist’s Reception: March 4 from 3-5 p.m

What it would be like to be flying by the seat of your pants at the mercy of Mother Nature?

In this show, artist Bobi Perry explores this question using found art, or, “what I stumble over.”

According to the artist, items announce where they want to be placed on a 2-D surface.

“In the process Mother Nature becomes transformed from one thing to another, such as a dried blossom from a bush becomes a tree, the tip of a pine cone petal becomes a rock,” Perry explains.  “Thus, I call this ‘transformational art’.”

These landscapes are certainly not what Audubon saw on his excursions, but Perry “hopes they stir in viewers a quiet and ongoing joy made possible by their being untitled, open to interpretation and made personal.”

Bobi Perry received an undergraduate and graduate degrees from the School of the Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University.  She has exhibited in California, Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia, but mainly concentrates on her career as a Registered Art Therapist.
