"Plastic Poetics" opens Friday, January 18, 2008, Regina Gouger Miller Gallery

Plastic Poetics features sculpture and installation rooted in the material world. The four artists in this exhibit employ a playful physical approach to substance and surface resulting in concrete objects that define space and trod the familiar ground of language and raw material, but transform it to unfamiliar ends.
