Share Your Life, Installation art at RAG
“Share Your Life,” an installation project by David Kenny and
Diana Cozzens will open at the Walt Meade Gallery of The Roxbury Arts Group
on Saturday, April 26. An opening reception will be held from 2-4 pm.
The work on exhibit, created over a ten year period is show is a collection of found objects, sculpture, paintings, and prints. Kenny and Cozzens, who share a home in Oneonta, say that this show Is “ about living together, creating together, having a vision and sharing it. The work is a collection of our habits, rituals and our day to day living. These works are a portrait of who we are, where we have been and how we envision the future. The work on display is work we have created together -not just in a constructive, tactile, medium sense but in a shared, inspired, spiritual and Energetic sense. The scope is much larger than solely creating art in a studio with just one mind- these works are our life, our atmosphere, our past and our future. This is how we learn as a couple, as friends, and as lovers.”
Diana Cozzens was born at home in upstate New York and has been "playing" with art for over fifteen years. Diana works in many mediums such as painting, sculpture, photography, clothing construction, and movement exploration. She is a lover of nature, an avid outdoors woman who enjoys the lessons and beauty that Nature offers, a passion that is reflected in her work.
David Kenny has been living in upstate New York since 1986 and has been
making art for over 20 years, starting as a nature oriented artist working
with wood, sticks and rope. He has worked in many mediums including sculpture,
painting and photography, and has developed a large body of work in dgital
mediums. He now finds himself again deeply influenced by nature "Now
I see that all mediums work beautifully together once you find that balance.
Recycling and creating new, surprising things from discarded items has been
a focus of mine, taking advantage of the overwhelming amount of stuff that
people discard has been a true asset to my work"
David owns and operates his own digital arts and education studio; he does
work for Hartwick College and the State University of New York and will be
opening a new art Lab (Tidalhouse) in Oneonta in the spring of 2008. The
Walt Meade Gallery is at 5025 Vega Mountain Road in Roxbury. Gallery hours
