Chris Berti: Artist's Reception and Talk

About this event

Illinois sculptor Chris Berti presents Confections, an exhibition of carved stone and brick sculptures that transform familiar forms into unexpected and evocative objects. Berti likens his artistic process to that of an archaeologist, gradually removing material to reveal the final form. Often working with found materials, he draws inspiration from subjects ranging from frosted cakes to planets, bringing a playful sense of discovery to these carefully carved works. On December 12, he will give an artist’s talk about his process and inspiration for his unusual sculptures.
