here/there/everywhere
An Installation by Noel Sardalla
August 5 - 31, 2011
Opening reception: Friday, August 5, 5 - 6:30 pm
Creative Arts Workshop presents an installation by New Haven-based artist Noel Sardalla, titled here/there/everywhere, from August 5 to August 31, 2011. The installation is viewable from outside the CAW Hilles Gallery throughout the month. An opening reception will be held on Friday, August 5, from 5:00 to 6:30 pm.
Noel Sardalla's current work explores the ability of reticulated structures to define spatial boundaries while still allowing visual permeability. For the site-specific installation here/there/everywhere, a nearly-invisible net of monofilament is suspended in the Hilles Gallery. Botanical forms fashioned from paper are attached to the net, creating a single, planar structure that is then manipulated to fill the gallery space. The net's lightness allows it to move gently with currents of air, reminiscent of blooms waving and bending in the breeze.
By juxtaposing a defined, regular structure with hand-crafted paper flowers, here/there/everywhere comments on the paradox that is a garden -- the exuberant flourishing of life contained within an orderly space. Says Sardalla, “A garden may be compact, or it may be unruly. It can hold the promise of life, or the memory of life. To a gardener, it is a capricious object of love -- here, there and everywhere.”
