InLiquid, in partnership with Gravers Lane Gallery, is pleased to present “The Luminous Forest”, a fiber exhibition featuring an installation by Lanny Bergner at the Crane Arts Building. This immersive installation at the InLiquid Gallery invites viewers to explore a meditative world where organic wonder meets meticulous craftsmanship.
As a resident of Fidalgo Island, Washington State, Lanny Bergner has been inspired by the lush diversity of nature in the Pacific Northwest woodlands for most of his life. Daily nature exposure – whether through forestland hikes or garden walks – nurtures Lanny’s appreciation for the mysterious life force existing around him.
This series of work reflects Lanny’s response to that environment. He creates his vision using man-made materials of metal mesh, monofilament, wire, acrylic pigments and glass frit that he flame paints, knots, twists and hand models, transforming these elements into ethereal constructions.
Viewers are invited to enter a forest-like environment expressed through embossed mesh wall panels accentuated with leaf shapes, as well as with hanging pods containing luminescent biomorphic structures. Wall-mounted basket forms in dialogue with suspended geometric works complete the assemblage and act as codices for the gallery installation hinting at the mysteries of it all. |
