HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Artists Jason Smith, Jude Lobe, and Martha Danek will be exhibiting recent works in their upcoming show, Tapping Into Spirit, which will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from March 25^th until April 20^th. The opening reception will be on Friday, March 28^th from 6:00-9:00 pm with live music on the patio provided by Steve Fishman & the Pied Vipers.

Metal sculptor, Jason Smith combines found objects with metal that he has cut, welded, and forged, to create sculptures of balance, strength, and beauty. He is driven by the belief that spirit resides in the overlooked and the ordinary. Smith takes discarded fragments of the world and reforges them into metal sculptures that embody tranquility and mindfulness. He sees his sculptures as "invitations to pause, to breathe, and to find harmony in the interplay of strength and softness, chaos and calm."

Jude Lobe enjoys working in many different  media, and will be exhibiting both sculptures and paintings in this show. Lobe writes that her new collection presents "an expression of the Native American philosophy of interconnectedness, balance, and respect for nature, manifesting in both my totemic sculptures and my endangered landscapes." Her totems are intended to bridge the ancient and the contemporary, serving "as both a narrative and a conversation" through the use of bold expression and thoughtfully crafted details.

Martha Danek's painted gourd sculptures and mixed-media assemblages are inspired by an awareness of details, both in nature and in the everyday items from our lives. Danek writes, "I looked back at the meanings assigned to flowers during Victorian times, as well as the symbolism that many cultures have connected to animals, for inspiration in creating this collection of gourd sculptures. I love the images that our title, "Tapping into Spirit", evokes—I believe that there are messages of inspiration all around us, and that our lives are enriched when we allow ourselves to notice them."
