Sculptures by Giorgi Dolidze and Victoria Hanks

Curated by Miriam Keeler and Kimberley Bursic

Wednesday, April 26th through Saturday, May 20th, 2023

View sculptures by artist members Giorgi Dolidze and Victoria Hanks in this special Garden Gallery exhibit. Both Dolidze and Hanks use the medium of sculpture to explore life and psychology. Giorgi Dolidze uses paint, plaster, metal and clay to create images that are an exploration of the human self and the fluidity of the human form. His work centers on the experience of life in today’s society and how it affects the human psyche as well as the physical. Initially stemming from an interest in the physical and textural properties of animal bodies and then later the sentient experiences of those animals, Victoria Hanks’ work focuses on using animal personalities to act out very human experiences. Sometimes somewhat cartoonish but with some pathos or angst, she tries to put on an animal mask, so to speak, to act out the fears and emotions common to people.
