See wire work at the Oakland Museum's 555 Gallery...
...by watching this slideshow or, better yet, going in person!
Today I visited the space with Sabine and Donna Seager and it was very foggy and grey out. But as time passed, the sun peaked out from the thick layer of clouds and, in a flash, the sculptures were illuminated and awake! The shadows, like drawn lines, introduce temporary marks onto the varied surfaces and architecture of the space and, with the addition of the direct light from the sun, the sculptures come to life as they shine and shimmer.
The curator of the show, Carin Adams, describes the show this way:
"Artist Emily Payne creates site-specific installations, sculpture, and works on paper based on delicate wire forms and the shadows they cast. She transforms materials by deconstructing them from multiple angles beyond their utilitarian function.The repetition of circular shapes clustered together, hovering in the air, and resting on the ground create shadows that expand their physical boundaries. In this way, the ephemeral qualities of the forms occupying space are as important as the forms themselves."
May 19, 2011 - August 5, 2011
This exhibition is located at 555 12th Street in Oakland. Curated by the Oakland Museum of California's Professional Services Division.

Show at Oakland Museum's Gallery 555
Dear Friends,Gallery 555, the Oakland Museum's off-site exhibition space in the lobby of 555 City Center, is a light-filled and inspiring space. I have created a series of wire installations for the East and West bays where the sun shines in throughout the day.
The opening is on Thursday, May 19 from 5-7 and I am hoping the afternoon sun cooperates with us that day! The scale of this building, which is unlike any space I have worked in, has inspired new images that combine wire, pins, paper and shadows.
Please come join me at the reception!
Love, Emily
Gallery 555, 555 12th Street, Oakland, CA 04607
