Soul Masquerade - New Work by Una Gallagher

For the first time on the East Coast, Una Gallagher will exhibit recent sculptural work in a two-month exhibition at the Peregrine Gallery. The opening reception is Thursday, March 15th, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Soul Masquerade presents a collection of masks, ornately and meticulously created from fabric and a wide range of natural materials including such things as seed pods, coral and stone. Reminiscent of certain ceremonial masks, each piece is created with the intention of holding a specific resonance or personality that is to be taken on by the wearer.

The sculptures are a reflection of Gallagher's background of design combined with her deep connection with nature,extensive travels in Africa and Europe and a practice of art as a spiritual meditation.
