Metal Logic

NEWBURGH — On Thursday, Nov. 21, come hear artist Carol Flaitz discuss the creative process and inspiration behind the exhibit, “Metal Logic,” which is currently on view in the Mindy Ross Gallery at SUNY Orange in Newburgh. Then watch sculptor Tom Holmes demonstrate how to sculpt in various media from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in the Great Room 101, Kaplan Hall.

This event is free and open to the public.

This master class, “Metal Logic…. A Creative Alchemy,” offers the attendee the opportunity to understand the creative inspiration that fueled the 13 unique bodies of work of Beacon Artists Union members and comprise the exhibition centered around the idea of metal.

Carol Flaitz
Flaitz will discuss the artistic process in creating a body of work. Her own work explores “the amalgamation of technology and art and reflects our relationship as humans to the barrage of technology in our culture and its effect upon us.” She teaches art and shows her work in the Hudson Valley region, New York City and internationally. Flaitz lives in Newburgh.

Tom Holmes
Holmes will demonstrate different ways of sculpting with various media. His own work uses the elements of stone, metal, wood, light, ice and water in conjunction with the seasons and changing weather temperatures to intuitively create “independent responses to materials and approaches. The undercurrents of natural decay, unity, duality, symmetry, space, time, and dimension are at the heart of my creative energy,” states Holmes who resides and works in Greeley in Pike County, Pa.

This event is produced by Cultural Affairs. For more information call 845-341-9386 or e-mail cultural@sunyorange.edu.

Free, secure parking is available in the Kaplan Hall underground parking garage accessible via First Street.
