Gathering Energy: The Work of Mark Davis
31 October - 30 November 2009

Born in New Haven, CT and educated at Goddard College in Vermont, Mark Davis began making jewelry in his teens. Davis' dexterous metalwork is entirely self-taught. His initial forays into mobiles utilized the metals of his first art: sterling silver, gold plating, and brass. The variety of styles and materials that Davis uses to build his mobiles has expanded dramatically over the years to create a complex and compelling body of work. In addition to moderate scale pieces of movement, color and grace, Davis has also been involved with large scale public and private commission pieces.
