Jillan Valpy at Xchanges Balcony and Xchanges Gallery

JILLAN VALPY, CONVENTIONAL WISDOM
Xchanges Balcony and Gallery Exhibition
Opening Friday the 13th 7 to 11 pm, Open Stage Music and Refreshments

This one evening exhibition will feature work of conventional wisdom and odd materials to construct unique two and three dimensional rubber painting and sculpture installations. Imagine swimming through a painted rubber sculpture on the Balcony Gallery that spills over into Xchanges Gallery to find what is there?

Jillan’s use of recycled rubber concepts alludes to the gluttonous waste of the oil industry. We are surrounded by oil based products which appear around us everywhere and in everything. This exhibition pokes fun at the absurdity and abundance of this rubber waste by constructing innovative rubber art and interactive environments out of this highly viable and perfectly reusable material.
