Sunday Telegram reviews Art Gallery's Feathered Hand
The on Feb. 20, 2011 reviewed the UNE Art Gallery's current exhibition, The Feathered Hand: Installations, Drawings, Prints by Alison Derby Hildreth. Reviewer Daniel Kany writes: "It has a magical feel in the sense of children's fantasy literature: Dozens of clear glass puppets with paper wings soaring 25 feet into the air; lenses daring you to peer through them; beakers of black sand in alchemical poses; mineral-filled hourglasses; ribbons of ancient-seeming script, bottled genie-like; wooden marionette handles; light bulbs; and sleek drips of black among the otherwise all-clear glass. ... With her works now on view in three shows, Hildreth has easily made the case she is an important Maine artist. Whether you have a literary take on the world or the swirling imagination of a child, she has something in store for you." The exhibition runs through April 3rd.
