“Recall†is an exhibition of small and often intimate objects used by artist Dianne Pappas to create the site-specific installation in the Gallery at the Archer School for Girls.
Pappas’ process focuses on mathematical and visual thinking in varied — printmaking, sculpture, photographer and others — media. In choosing mundane materials, such as cinder blocks and wooden slabs, she identifies with the elemental, mysterious visual vocabulary of Cycladic sculpture. Her installations are often produced using tape, translucent paper and a hot glue-gun to express sensations of impermanence and fragility-what she calls creating an “elusive” space.
Multi-media installation artist Pappas is a Massachusetts native who attended Smith College, The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA, Studio of Corning Museum of Glass, Corning NY., Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, WA.
Her honors received during the past decade alone include an academic scholarship from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD; Patrons Award, Co So Artists A to Z: Awakening, Copley Society of Art, Boston, MA; Silver Medal, Celebrating Hellenic Heritage, Whistler House Museum of Art, Lowell, MA; and Medici Society Artist and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA.
Admission is free, by appointment.
