Spirit and Enigma: Ceramic Sculptures and Wall Art by Bill Mould

Opening Reception: Friday, April 13, 6 - 8:30pm

Washington, DC sculptor Bill Mould is opening a solo show of his most recent work at Touchstone Gallery at 901 New York Ave., NW.  The exhibit runs from April 4 – 29, with a Public Reception on Friday, April 13, 6-8:30pm.

This is Mould’s first solo exhibit at Touchstone.  He has shown widely through the DC/VA/MD area, as well as elsewhere up and down the East Coast.  His work appears in many private collections in the area, as well as in New York City, the far West, the South, London and Paris.  The National Institutes of Health commissioned him to create Hippocratic Oath, as the only art hanging in the NIH Executive Board Room.

“Each piece is designed to evoke more than what it shows.  My art is not an illusion, but an allusion, a constant reference to events and people and moments outside the piece itself.

“I like to present the viewer with a puzzle, a question, an enigma.  There are as many answers and solutions as there are spirits to take them in,” said Mould.

“The sculptures are enigmas.  Through them, I attempt to capture those moments when truths slip in and out of our grasp, leaving us certain that there is more to the universe than what is simply in front of us.

“I see life as a palimpsest, a surface which has had many words and images scratched upon it, only to be erased to make way for new perceptions.  We can read the new writing, but we can also see just behind it the old mysteries and sacred texts which have been effaced, but which insist on reappearing.”
