◄ Sculptures by Jo Owens Murray ►

► Jo Owens Murray ( artbyjo ) was raised in Florence, South Carolina and is one of nine children. She graduated from Rosemont College in May 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Art History and is a self-taught artist. Ms. Owens Murray’s sculptures are in the permanent collections of four museums.

She started her career as a photographer, but was drawn to assemblage sculpture by way of experiments with various recycled materials, jewelry and fabrics. Her assemblage sculptures, which she call “My Girls”, are unique and exceptional examples of contemporary Surrealism.

The beaded sculptures prompt questions about beauty, femininity, identity, loss, grief and redemption. Journalist Burton Wasserman wrote that her work is “deeply rooted layers of personal memory, thought and feeling, joined with reflections on the various roles played by women in society, past and present.”

◄ Sculptures by Don Gummer ►


► Don Gummer (born December 12, 1946 in Louisville, Kentucky) is an American sculptor. His early work concentrated on table top and wall-mounted sculpture, but in the mid 1980s he shifted his interest to large free-standing works, often in bronze. In the 1990s he added a variety of other materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum and stained glass.

His interest in large outdoor works also led him to an interest in public art.Critic Irving Sandler (writing in Art in America, January 2005) has noted that Gummer’s work is recognizably rooted in constructivism, but also writes that “in extending and deflecting Constructivist art in a new direction, Gummer has rendered it peculiarly contemporary.” Sandler also writes that Gummer’s works “give postmodern life to classic principles of abstract composition.”
