With, In

In this paired show, Stella Bronson and Ruth Marie Tomlinson capitalize on affinities discovered while spending time together in rural Montana. Their interests were particularly united on discovery of a discard pile where tall grass remains pierced through the objects. Intrigued by form, Bronson rummaged through the inevitable castoffs that collect in rural areas, while Tomlinson continued collection of natural plant detritus. Each of them is fueled by observation and a particular interest in the way objects, be they plant or manufactured, sit in a landscape. The lean, the heap, the constraint, the accumulation. These found forms inspire Bronson to repeat history in the recreation of similar forms. While Tomlinson works at restructuring and preserving what she finds.
