Outside-looking-in to Pulliam Deffenbaugh's Wednesday Preview opening, featuring refined and redefined craftcentric artworks of Hildur Bjarnadottir.

Gallery owner, Rod Pulliam, with show guests. Nearby is Hildur's nostalgiac "found" video loop of an American cowboy riding a horse, looping a rope. Or is it lassoo-ing?






Hildur involves herself with show guests, amidst her ceramic and checkered textile works.






Elizabeth Leach Gallery features LED light and acrylic works by Hap Tivey. This facade piece is live with motion video-- mesmerizing a steady flow of people. The Alix Pearlstein video seems reminiscent of an avant garde actor's troupe performing on a lightbox.

Backspace presents installations by artist, James Newell. Cleverly built works that invite you to linger and interact for a while. Curious, crafted, concise with a bit of quirkiness in unexpected places.
