Towle Hill Studio
October 12 & 13, 2024 Reception is Saturday from 4 to 6pm Kevin Donegan and Susan Smereka’s current bodies of work share a common aspiration to reuse and recycle; they love the history that worn objects carry. Although the use of found material is evident in both their practices, this show emphasizes their different mediums and techniques; specifically how pieces are fastened together. While Kevin’s work is constructed, sculpted, and screwed, Susan’s is layered, printed, and stitched. For Susan, transforming family ephemera (one of her source materials) is a way of considering the many facets of family dynamics. Her work shared here at Towle Hill explores family trees and the inherent logic (not found on a genealogical tree) that is its own organic creature. Kevin’s playful sculpture is the product of a wandering spirit. His work is informed by a direct connection to material - while collecting, manipulating, or assembling - and he likes nothing more than to be surprised in the process.
