Art & Music: Taylor & Beckerich w Clive Smith

Main Library * Artists’ Talk @ 2:20 pm Art & Music Reception Our October exhibit features collages by Sylvia Taylor and mixed media sculpture by Eric Beckerich. For our October reception, Clive Smith will be performing atmospheric, electro-acoustic, instrumental music that goes where songs seldom venture. On our walls: Sylvia Taylor: Collage An observer and lifetime artist, Sylvia creates one-of-a-kind collages and studio jewelry. About the collages, Sylvia expresses, “My collages are about our experience of the moment; defined by layers of history, not all visible, but nonetheless, still experienced. The hidden layers create a richness that otherwise would not be.” Her website is www.sylviataylor.net In our display case: Eric Beckerich: Mortar and Mixed Media Sculpture In 2007, Eric began creating small mortar and wood sculptures, which evolved with the addition of glass, metal, stone and small found objects. His large-scale sculpture, The Essex Column, is on permanent exhibit at the Wildflower Sculpture Park in South Mountain Reservation. One chronicler of the NY art scene has called his work “beautifully simple and mysterious”, and recently commented, “There is something new under the sun!”
