Lindy Chambers observes and animates the often overlooked aspects of rural Texas life, to suggest value in the unnoticed. Chambers' subjects range from recognizable iconography (mobile homes, stray dogs, lambs, piles of trash), to graphic abstractions, to the amorphously biological and otherworldly. The permeable relationship between these forms becomes an essential part of the discussion.

Compassion, unconventional beauty, and chance are Chambers' companions in her object making. Her sculptures germinate from items found strewn across highways, in junk yards, and on country roads. Along the way she adorns them with craft materials and unexpectedly colorful embellishments: googly eyes, feather boas, furry pompoms. She bestows humanity on her misshapen, oddly colored, unusually textured, sometimes ugly objects. By elevating them, she gives them new life.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until May 11.
