SUMMARY:Pat Hickman\, Track Spikes
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Saturday\, September 7\, 2024\, 7-9pm\nPAT HICKMAN\nTrack Spikes\nSolo Exhibition\nCurated by Joe Fusaro\nSeptember 7th – October 27th\, 2024\nGallery Hours: Fridays\, 2-5PM\, Saturdays and Sundays 1-5PM\nWHERE: The Ned Harris Gallery at Building 35\, GARNER Arts Center\nADDRESS: GARNER Historic District\, 55 West Railroad Avenue\, Garnerville\, NY 10923\nHaverstraw-Ossining ferries are now running on the weekend! Transport of Rockland offers FREE connecting service between 8am and 10pm to stops throughout Rockland County\, including the Village of Haverstraw and the GARNER Historic District!\n————————\nGARNERVILLE\, NY – Pat Hickman creates work that often embraces the history and beauty of everyday objects. She then gives these familiar objects a new life\, or perhaps creates echoes of their previous life\, by sculpting translucent casts\, in this case\, casts of the vanishing track spikes used by railroads across the country. Her emphasis on process and creating unique\, individual forms are woven together to form a single\, contemplative installation and individual sculptures for this alluring solo exhibition in the Ned Harris Gallery at Building 35 at GARNER Arts Center.\nWhen we think of traditional artists’ materials\, we usually consider plump tubes of acrylic paint and tautly stretched canvas\, anticipating the brush. Or we envision arrayed pans of watercolors and tablets of creamy Arches paper. Artist Pat Hickman’s materials and pigments are not made by Winsor and Newton but by time…\n– Ellen Katz\nPat Hickman is a studio artist and professor emerita of art at the University of Hawaii. She has kept a studio at the GARNER Historic District since 2006 and is a recipient of a 2024 Artists’ Support Fund grant from the Arts Council of Rockland and the Rockland Community Foundation. Hickman’s work is included in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution\, the Oakland Museum\, the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Denver Art Museum\, the Honolulu Museum of Art\, and Hawaii State Art Museum\, among others. Her gate commission\, Nets of Makali’i–Nets of the Pleiades\, stands at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center in Hawaii.\nI respond to place through what’s available to me as potential art materials– materials that to me hold history and meaning. So place comes into play. I live near the train. I want to play with the ideas and just think about how a material can be transformed.\n– Pat Hickman\, Artist\nWith this exhibition\, Pat Hickman traces a fading history of strength\, labor\, human connection\, and travel through the creation of a site-specific installation of railroad track spikes in the Ned Harris Gallery. The exhibition will feature special events for school and community groups\, as well as opportunities to engage with the artist and curator.\nPat Hickman’s work will make you literally lean forward to look closely at the material\, the object\, and the trace of that object’s form through ghostlike casts. The diligence with which each step of this process is considered is quite extraordinary. Details are just as satisfying as the whole.\n– Joe Fusaro\, Curator\nYou’re invited:\nSchool and community groups are invited to schedule a special tour of the exhibition with the artist or curator. Please call Jesse Heffler at (845) 947-7108 for more information.\n__________
