J. Aaron Alderman
Green Rice Gallery in
Charlotte, NC, will present the exhibit, Casted, Welded, Hammered
& Forged: The Queen City Metalsmiths, featuring works
by J. Aaron Alderman, Steven Sinnett, Rich Nossel and Marilyn
Overton, on view from June 5 - 28, 2009.
From the Stone Age through the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, metalwork
has flourished in art, industry and trade. By the 1700's
the village blacksmith ensured the economic survival of early
America, making the implements and equipment used in farming,
business, and even in the common household.
After industrialization, when ironwork could be provided by factories,
blacksmiths reinvented themselves, putting their age-old hand
forging talents to more creative endeavors. The studio craft movement
began in the middle of the past century, allowing the floodgates
of creativity to be thrown wide open and unbridled abandon to
flow freely. Standing on the shoulders of the metal giants who
have preceded them, we welcome J. Aaron Alderman, Steven Sinnett,
Rich Nossel and Marilyn Overton as they celebrate their ageless
legacy of metalsmithing.
