Passage of Time
Exhibition Dates: July 24 - Aug 27, 2015
An all media juried art exhibition
focusing on the passage of time.
James Taylor once sang "The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time." In this exhibit, the focus is on work that displays in one way or another the passage of time. Perhaps the focus is on the age of a person, a dilapidated home or other aged structure, a plant past its prime, or abandoned objects. Artists were encouraged to explore the topic and interpret as they choose.

Juror: Tim Liddy was born in Dearborn, Michigan and received his Bachelor of Art from the Center of Creative Studies in Detroit. After receiving his Master of Fine Arts from Washington University in St. Louis, Tim has exhibited his work throughout the United States and is represented by galleries in New York, San Francisco, Tulsa, and Chicago among other states.
Tim Liddy’s painted constructions so closely resemble their board game inspirations that many viewers walk right past, thinking they must be found objects. Liddy relishes the confusion. The works are actually elaborately enameled copper sculptures, each seemingly printed word and every abraded strip of masking tape made by the artist.
Once you’ve discovered the truth, you are caught up in the astonishing detail and verisimilitude, and you’re drawn in to investigate more closely. Within the recognizable format of a mid-twentieth-century game box are surprising elements that are often at odds with the traditional object. Liddy inserts wry commentary on mid-century social mores into this comfortably recognizable context. The fact that the boxes seem to be held together tenuously by tape suggests the rapidly eroding conventions of an earlier era.
