Amy Sallenbach: Tethered to Inifinity

Everyone is welcome to join the two artists for the free opening event beginning 7 pm on March 4 at the Kootenay Gallery of Art. 

Amy Sallenbach has created a body of work consisting of paintings, inspired by space, and rotating sculptures that she calls “orbitals”. The orbitals are reminiscent of Victorian-era models, with a steam punk aesthetic. The exhibition is an expression of Sallenbach’s childhood dream of becoming an astronaut.

Amy Sallenbach says in her statement, “The serpent pursues its tail, the wheels of time revolve, the universe pirouettes, and it all comes around to the circle. Representing returning to our roots in life, they are symbolic of protection as well as connection. My explorations are multi-disciplinary; reflecting on our world through assemblage mobiles and observational works balanced by a gravitational pull.”
