Earth and Sky by Randall Wilson

Opening reception: Friday, March 15, 2024, 5:00-7:00 pm

Gerald Peters Contemporary is pleased to announce “Earth and Sky” an exhibition of wood carvings by Associate Professor of Sculpture, Randall Wilson. Featuring over a dozen new works, the exhibition will mark Wilson’s third presentation with the gallery and his largest to date. Upon returning to New Mexico ten years ago, sculptor Randall Wilson refocused his practice. Imbued with a new sense of affection and reverence for his heritage and Southwestern roots, Wilson’s wood carvings are anchored in the folk-art tradition of the region. Honoring these origins, Wilson derives sculpting method and style from an historical model of carving wood, and introduces embossing, once associated with traditional leather and tinwork of the southwest into a distinctly personal and contemporary iconography.
