The Purple Moon will be presenting Filters of color, word & light: Works by Sharon Lyn Stackpole beginning Friday, February 27th in the Over the Moon Gallery. The show will open with a reception with the artist from 6 – 9 pm in the gallery at 906 Quarrier Street in Downtown Charleston.
Sharon Lyn Stackpole studied art at Fairmont State and West Virginia University, but has also read poetry in coffeehouses in San Francisco, and worked as an award-winning reporter for the Wheeling Intelligencer and News-Register. Recently her series, Fictionaries, traveled around the state of West Virginia and also exhibited at the Beehive in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Fictionaries was all about the blending of word and image.
Ms. Stackpole’s current show is continuation and expansion of that blending. In discussing her work she said:
“As I continue this journey, this immersion into my art, I’ve gone through various obsessions. Obsessions with words, with sculpture, with painted glass, and with glass itself. Obsessions with color have transcended into obsessions with light — what changes it, what transforms it, what alters light, what filters it. I want those filters. I want to hold them in my hands and build.”
