The Collected Works of David Poole

Gallery Talk
Wednesday, Nov. 10 at 6:30 PM
Opening Reception at 7 PM
Admission: free |
Fitchburg State College invites you to listen, laugh and play along at the first retrospective of multi–media artist and musician, Dave Poole. Working in animation, print, sculpture and installation, Poole mixes the vernaculars of sly and self-deprecating humor with highly refined technical ability. Giant robots, a cereal-eating alien and an ostrich-headed old lady are just a few of the characters that inhabit Poole’s work. It is through their stories that Poole invites you to ponder the intricate narrative of human experience. |

Gallery talk with artist Sandy Litchfield
Wednesday, march 9 at 6:30 PM
Opening Reception at 7 PM
Admission: free |
Sandy works in many different materials both on and off the wall. For this exhibition she will show her oil and acrylic paintings on canvas as well as works in gouache on paper.
Artist Statement: I like to envision place as something fluid rather than solid, flexible as opposed to ridged. It moves around us as much as we move around it. I draw most of my inspiration from a recollected landscape. I’m most interested in the way memory decays, providing fertile ground for the imagination to grow. The paintings are a gateway to explore and invent a place that wanders somewhere between the crisp edge of a broken remnant and the dreamy blur of speculation.
