Elmer Holzrichter: Reclaimer/Thingmaker

July 14 – October 4, 2015 —

Artist and educator Elmer Holzrichter spent the majority of his 90+ years reimagining, reclaiming, rearranging, and ultimately breathing life back into discarded objects to create inventive and wondrous artworks or “things,” as he calls them. While Holzrichter began his career using traditional media, he soon experimented with mask-making, paper-cutting, weaving, collage, and sculpture spurred by a Depression-era mindset. This exhibition includes selections from a body of work that spans over six decades and features collages, weavings, and sculptural works.
