Opening Reception 6-8PM - Saturday, November 28, 2015

 

Birds, feathers, and flight have long fascinated from Greek tales of Icaurus, to Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings of flying machines, through to contemporary resolutions of man’s entrancement with the skies.

 

Wish is the featured presentation of a Flourish of Feathers for it is the sweeping expansive reach of this piece that suggested the title. Crystal Przybille was commissioned in 2010 to create the piece for the satellite airport space of the Kelowna Art Gallery in which she utilized a sparseness of form within a postmodern melding of diverse materials. Complimenting Wish will be alternative takes on feathering ways by Joe Fafard, Gabriel Orozco, Allesandra Exposito, Doug Alcock, Julie Oakes, Rose Sanderson, Stephen Lee Scott and David Wilson.

 

Crystal Przybille is a graduate from the Bachelor of Fine Arts Program at the University of Victoria . In 2014, she was awarded the Okanagan Arts Award in the Visual Arts Category for her significant achievements and contributions.

 

Exposure to the collections of European museums and galleries can be seen in Przybille’s figurative, monumental public sculptures, large accomplished bronze works such as Father Pandosy at Kelowna ’s Pandosy Mission Heritage Site. The Father Pandosy maquette and her maquette for Chief Sʷknc̓ut (Sookinchute) showing the Chief standing and raising a feathery plume towards the sky will also be exhibited at Headbones Gallery.

 

This exhibition is definitely not ‘for the birds’, though it calls into play our bird-like affiliations. To add to the holiday festivities, three birds of a feather, The Dharma Dolls,’ undoubtedly plumed and pumped’ will be performing December 27 at Headbones Gallery in their fifth annual Glitter and Glam Holiday Concert. The exhibition runs until January 16, 2016.
