HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts presents Flights of Fancy, work by Garry Childs, Sally Terrell and Pat Merriman, in the gallery April 21 - May 24.

"When I looked up the definition and synonyms for flights of fancy", says scratchboard artist Sally Terrell, "I found several expressions that fit in my wheelhouse – daydreams, fantasies, whimsical notions, ideas that are not terribly realistic but show imagination." Going with the literal version of flights, Terrell's work in the show includes birds and other creatures that fly, though she represents some of her flying creatures in quirky, whimsical situations - like a hummingbird blowing bubbles. She's even wandered into the land of faeries and fireflies.
All of Garry Child's work is formed on a potter's wheel from terra-cotta clay. He encourages people to touch and handle his work. "Pots are made with hands and they should be 'looked at' with hands," says Childs. "Texture, particularly the contrast between the smooth glazed areas and the rougher, hard edges of the carved surface is very important." Childs finds something magical about the process of making pottery "When I am working at the wheel there is a moment when a shape almost flows out of the wet clay in my hands. Sometimes that moment is all I need to be satisfied with a particular piece."

Pat Merriman's part in the show is a retrospective of her work. Merriman, one of the founders of this gallery, died in February so representative pieces of her art were chosen for the show. Merriman travelled widely and some of her paintings speak to the places she visited, some to her home state of North Carolina and some to her interest in history and culture. She loved to experiment with new techniques and the diversity of work in this show expresses that variety. In one of her final artist statements she declared "Experimentation helps encourage my creativity, freedom to try new things, and broadens my perspective as an artist and creator. I believe it breathes life and intrigue into my artwork."

An opening reception for Flights of Fancy will be held on April 24th from 6-9pm.

An Artist Talk by Garry Childs and Sally Terrell will be held in the Gallery on Saturday, May 16th at 4 p.m.
