Alex Bay, Construction No. 1, Night Life, mixed media, 2001-2008 (detail)
R.L. Croft, Silo, mixed mediaI had the pleasure of hearing an artists' talk last week at the McLean Project for the Arts at the McLean Community Center. The show featured the work of R.L. Croft, an artist from Manassas whose work I greatly admire and Alex Bay, an artist from Loudoun County whose work was unfamiliar to me, but equally inspiring. They're both sculptors who use found and reclaimed objects in incredible ways.
I'm not really comfortable writing about art so maybe it would be best if you just took a look at the MPA's site for a description of their work. Better yet, go to the show and see their work for yourself. It's a small show, but well worth the visit.
