Keith W. Bentley’s sculptures are uncanny, strange classical statuettes through material
intervention. Bentley finds his inspiration somewhere in-between the canon of sculptural form
and materials drawn from his quotidian experience: rubber, household items, concrete, hair. The
resulting works force the viewer to question value hierarchies of art and materials. The identities
of Bentley’s forms never settle, giving rise to something different, something unrecognizable, a
new area of representation.
Bentley’s works have been exhibited throughout North America, including the Museum of and

Susan Fitch Brown has been making art or studying art all her life. In childhood there were always trips to museums and she was often enlisted to make samples for her mother's art teaching. As an adult a chance job led her to work for an art historian, organizing her reference work and researching and writing entries for an exhibition catalog. She loved the research but slowly realized that she kept wanting to make art herself and use her studies to inform her work. Susan finds much personal reward in the work and the learning that are the constant companions of making art.
