Clay pillow forms leave no room for rest in installations by emerging artist Amanda Gentry at Hyde Park Art Center
Chicago (July 2013)
— Emerging artist Amanda Gentry unveils a new series of nine works in the new exhibition titled Expanding, which explores the pillow as a metaphor for the mental and physical weight of the human experience. Gentry’s repetition of hundreds of swollen and sealed vessels has a restless, uncanny effect, while her delicate use of color and soft materials render the unconscious state of sleep. Featuring some objects made in the Art Center’s Cerf Hill & Sagan Ceramics Classroom where
Gentry took classes, the exhibition marks the first major solo show for the artist. .
