This month we feature the work of metal sculptor Katie Gibbs and photographer Ree Slocum. Come talk with them at our reception on September 4th, from 5 to 8 pm, while listening to guitar music by Michael Guleff and tasting wine poured by Mendocino Wine Company.
Katie does metalwork and is currently working on a very large steel
garden gate with the design of a Valley Oak. She is also making steel
garden sculptures. Her current sculptures are of sylvan creatures who
might be hiding in the oaks. She works with steel plate and tube, and
cuts the design with a plasma torch, sometimes grinding and welding.
Most of her work is done for a specific site, and she enjoys working on
commission.
Ree Slocum's photographic flower images have been shown in shows and
galleries in Northern California since 2004. Her work is in private
collections in many countries around the world. Ree's use of natural
light and color tantalize the imagination...one is drawn into the heart
of a flower, and the image is continually unfolding, as the flower is
frozen in time.
Classical Guitarist Michael Guleff will play at the opening with selections from the baroque and classical period as well as some contemporary work. Michael has a Masters Degree in classical guitar and teaches world music for Mendocino College.
All Mendocino Wine Company wines are inspired by (and essentially connected to) Mendocino County, the place and its people. Paul Dolan along with Tom, Tim, and Tommy Thornhill Jr. have come together to create Mendocino Wine Company, which acquired Parducci Wine Cellars and is developing several new brands and wines consistent with a theme of sustaining what's best, and creating what's next.
