Gail Vogels: Exploring and Transforming

January 3, 2015 Touchstone Gallery
Gail Vogels

Gail Vogels

It's not surprising that Gail Vogels was inspired by the novel All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr when she set out to construct her new multi-media art works. She's been interested in literature most of her life, studying it in college and coming away with a bachelor's degree in the field. "That book was a launching point for me.  I wanted to explore  micro and macro themes happening simultaneously--those natural forces and choices that make us human beings.  Using mixed media elements -instead of painting - I tried to figure out how to make various themes intersect on a picture plane. Plus, using scissors and glue is fun.  The process is old school and the experience evokes your childhood."
