Scott Krichau's work focuses
on forms that incorporate many aspects from nature, the human
body, and devices of flight. He says, "the suggestion of
growth and travel are important to the work. The relentless drive
of nature to reproduce, even when many offspring will not survive,
speaks to my concept of the human condition. We continually try
to succeed, even when the prospects for accomplishment are not
great. Our chance for success makes the risk of failure worthwhile."
After spending three years in
Kansas City living and working, Krichau migrated to New Mexico
a year ago. He has continued creating organic forms from industrial
steel, which started while working on his MFA at the University
of Kansas. Although the size of his work has decreased in recent
years, the impact of his forms remained impressive. This exhibit
offers several small scale drawings companied with a series of
new forms that almost float on wall shelves.
Scott Krichau's work may be seen
in person at the Harwood
Art Center Main Gallery October 4 29, with a reception
on Friday, October 15 Friday, 5-8:30pm.

poetry by TERRY MULERT, selected by Susan McAllister of Harwood Art Center
