Lea Lackey-Zachmann:
Tree Translations II
February 28 - March 26, 2016
Reception: Sunday, March 20, 2 – 4 p.m.
Tree Translations II is a collection of paintings, prints and sculpture that is part of a continuum begun in Lea Lackey-Zachmann's last few exhibitions. It explores an expanding understanding of trees specifically, and plants in general.
Trees provide a multitude of well known services for humans and animals. However, it is the many layered functions, environmentally based changes and communications amongst plant forms that have been topics of new research and expanded understandings which inspire these images and sculptures. Part premise, part environmental commentary and part diversion, all the pieces in this exhibition are an expression of this, with a specific focus on Oak, Poplar, Yellowwood and Holly trees.
Lea Lackey-Zachmann has taught at High Point University for over 20 years in the subjects of Drawing, Design, Art History, Art Education and Painting. She is a founding member of Artworks Gallery, and has served as chair of exhibitions for years. She lives with her husband, two dogs and a cat in Winston-Salem, NC.
