We are pleased to present Between Worlds, an exhibition of carved wood and assembled found materials by Bay Area artist, Joe Brubaker

Joe Brubaker incorporates found and aged materials in his sculpture, lending their history and past life to the character of the works.  He loves rust and faded paint, recognizable parts of broken toys and the stuff of old machines – gears, wooden wheels and strips of old tire rubber, all beautifully patinaed with age.  It appears that time itself comes into harmony in his carved characters and masterfully modulated abstract works.  The theme of this year’s exhibition, Brubaker’s seventh with the gallery, is “Between Worlds,” a reference to his love of moving between figuration and abstraction and also, in his own words between “the finite limits of the physical world and the infinite possibilities of the creative process.”
