Tonight marks the opening of Abby Manock's installation "ReCounters" at the Coleman Burke Gallery in Fort Andross. Manock is a multimedia artist who works in drawing, sculpture, installation, performance and video, while frequently exploring the relationship between them. Her work often examines societal and political themes while simultaneously tapping into a childlike sensibility; this juxtaposition is perhaps best viewed in her chaotic, brightly colored pen drawings.
For "ReCounters," Manock has employed a variety of media to create a larger-than-life board game in the gallery space that examines the discord between childhood nostalgia and modern day frustrations. "ReCounters" opens tonight and runs through October 17. The opening will take place from 5-8 p.m. as part of the Brunswick/Topsham ArtWalk. The ArtWalk includes over two-dozen galleries and studios, as well as poetry and music performances in Brunswick and Fort Andross.
