VALA Eastside has announced that Sherri Gamble will be joining the organization as Artist in Residence, alongside Vikram Madan, and will be showcasing her installation “Hand Held.”
“My residency at VALA explores the evolution of our hands while inviting the public to use hands in the most analog of ways…as tools to create art,” said Gamble.
Her residency at VALA Art Center & Studios, located next door to Z Gallerie in Redmond Town Center, will take place Oct. 10 through Nov. 29.
“Once, our hands were tools. Grabbing twigs…twisting, turning tight. Imprints on clay cave walls were how we left messages,” Gamble said. “Today we use other technologies and our thumbs are evolving into nicely knobbed cell phone instruments.”
She invites the public to join her in creating art at VALA while viewing her examination of today’s technologies and her method of a more hands-on approach to art-making.
