Inspired by wildlife and American history, Pam Brown’s sculptures on display at Gallery North explore themes of extinction, the human condition, and the interplay between nature and industry. Using wire, sheet metal and other salvaged materials from abandoned sites, she constructs skeletal, artifact-like forms that blur boundaries between the organic and man-made, familiar and uncanny. 

Patterns of Attachment: Sculptures by Pam Brown features small and large scale works by Pam Brown. In a deliberate, painstaking approach that is evocative of craft traditions and domestic labor, Brown cuts the materials by hand with scissors, assembles and darns them together. Sheet metal and wire replace the fabric and thread of needlework alluding to both “women’s work” and early industrial manufacturing. Brown places gendered practices in new contexts and develops them as signifying elements. Hours:
