Prof. Sun You exhibiting at University of Vermont gallery

Sun You, assistant professor of art, is exhibiting her sculptures this month at the University of Vermont’s Francis Colburn Gallery.

Ongoing Abstraction which runs through Sept. 29, shows her floor sculptures, made with polymer clay and cardboard boxes, throughout the gallery floor.

“The form of these sculptures arises from a process in my work,” You says. “I bake clay pieces in the kitchen oven and pack them in boxes to move to the studio. The arrangement of the clay is based on function: I organize them so they won’t shift or break in transit. Whereas the paintings are composed with concerns like balance or movement, the compositions in the boxes come from a place of caretaking.”

You will join a panel discussion and reception at the gallery Sept. 20.
