Michael Rogers, Keeper's Lament (detail), 2008
cast glass, wood table, steel wire
150 x 131.25 x 28.25 inches installed
"Michael Rogers’ Flock combines apparently unrelated found objects into a narrative of cast glass and bronze that makes sense in the same way that a great work of fiction or poetry makes sense: through complex, interwoven relationships. Flock’s eleven sculptures examine the brutal production and creation cycle man imposes on nature. Threads of symbolism run through in the pieces like circular themes in literature and circular traits in human ancestry. Objects in the exhibit include antique picture frames, a crow decoy, paintbrushes, a baby doll, small leather-bound books, and quart jars–all cast in glass and bronze. The symbols etched in glass on various pieces include bees, diagrams of flowers, honeycombed fencing wire, and barn swallows in flight." -Kevin Fann
