Bergner has dedicated the past twenty years to creating works through an unusual combination of materials. He coils, frays, twist, glues and knots, bronze, brass, aluminum and stainless steel screening into “other worldly” constructions. Within each piece he encloses coarsely ground brightly colored glass, allowing one to view, but not touch the glass within. Bergner’s careful manipulation of a typically rigid material, gives birth to a soft yet structurally sound form.
In addition to his signature organic suspended works, Bergner exhibits two new bodies of work; basketry works referencing architectural forms and the human body, and four modular constructions based on grids and patterns. His inspirations generated through his fascination for the natural world come together in this beautiful exhibition. |
