Press release

This show features new sculptures by David Smalley and works by 15 of the students and studio assistants he remembers best (James Stidfole, Matthew Geller, Robyn Hillary, Chas Moser, Nat Cohen, Laura Burden, Adriene Krefetz, Sharon Myers, Jenn Collins, Meryl Taradash, Jerold Ehrlich, David Kenney, Jonathan Goldman, Lindley Briggs, Deborah Vileno Esborn).

David retired after a 38-year career at Connecticut College. Now beginning his 6th decade of sculpting, he states, "Each piece is still a struggle, a search, and, ultimately, a discovery. Why else do it? The work is hard and sometimes tedious. The materials often defy me. Solving the puzzle of what each piece is going to be is what keeps me on task". Come join us at Hygienic Art for this extraordinary exhibition.

There will be an opening reception on Sat., Oct. 17, from 7—10 p.m.
