Goodyear Gallery
(Cedar Street entrance)
Gallery hours: Tuesday through Friday, 3-5 p.m.; Saturday, 2-5 p.m.
Blacksmith/sculptor Ellen Durkan creates fantastical two- and three-dimensional wearable constructions for women out of semiprecious metals, steel and a variety of ordinary materials. This exhibition includes her conceptual designs and final pieces—and all of the spaces between them.
Reception for the Artist: Tuesday, Feb. 12, 5-7 p.m.
A recipient of a 2011 Delaware Individual Artist Fellowship in Sculpture, Ellen Durkan creates fantastical fashion pieces out of metal, steel and other nontraditional materials by hand-sawing patterns into metal and using blacksmithing tools to affix clasps and other parts to the surfaces.
