Meet the artist of new Salmon Falls Exhibit Nov. 8
SHELBURNE FALLS — Peruse a new exhibit of sculptures exploring optics, light, and architecture, and meet the artist behind them during an open house at the Salmon Falls Art Gallery on Saturday, Nov. 8.
From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., artist Robert Osborne will be at the gallery, located at 1 Ashfield Street, to showcase his work in “Optical Confusions.”
“Light is both the subject and the material of my work,” Osborne said in a press release. “It shapes how we see, but it also defines how we think. My goal is to create objects that make viewers aware of that
process.”
The exhibit will be on display at Salmon Falls Gallery through Dec. 31. For more information visit www.SalmonFallsGallery.com
