Sam Perry: Clew

Twenty years ago sculptor Sam Perry decided to change mediums from clay to wood, influenced by his long-term role as the director of conservation at Runnymede Sculpture Farm in Woodside, CA. Clew, Perry’s solo exhibition opening at Rena Bransten Gallery on September 7, showcases his most delicate work to date, and confirms his mastery of his chosen medium. The current exhibition is named for five iterative works Clew I – Clew V. Originally conceived as a single massive screen-form structure, the works have been installed in the gallery to allow visitors to walk between the interlacing attenuated pieces.
