Friday, June 7, 5:30-8PM
RECon (Clark Russell & Tom Lawson) performs as part of the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival lineup: 7-7:45PM
Burlington artist Clark Russell has been making art (paintings, collage, and wall sculptures) since his post-college days, around 1984. This exhibition includes a collection of his elegant abstracts created from salvaged scrap metals and high-relief collages. His three dimensional wall pieces take center stage in the show and feel a bit like dances and music floating along.
