Kathleen Volp’s exhibition Pointed features small groupings of juxtaposed geometric forms made primarily from plaster, paper pulp, and clay. The works' seductively tactile surfaces range from sublimely smooth and glossy to rough and blistered. In the intimately scaled piece Squaring the Circle? a small, deflated rubber ball attempts to envelop a cube. Skeletal cones and spheres mingle with more solid cousins, while a ziggurat sneaks away on wobbly legs. Velvety black and neon pink forms embody unexpected depth and weight in stark contrast to large, hollow, upended cones insistent on defying gravity. In Pointed, Volp displays humor and intrigue in the most elemental: shapes, surface, minimal color, and subtle shifts of light and shadow.
