Big Risks:
Creative Discoveries
Sculptures by Peter Strasser

Opening April 23, 2022
1:00 - 5:00pm
Building 35

The material Peter Strasser works with is big, really big. And while the endeavor to create something from a whole cut tree requires taking risks that might not turn out as anticipated, the possibilities can be endless.

Monumental trees become twisted with burls and cutouts with brightly colored geometric shapes or wood beams inside the tree trunk. The viewer is left perplexed as to how such a juxtaposition could even be created. While preserving the original, he adds another layer of thought to what was once a tree.

 This project is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature and administered by ArtsWestchester.  Special thanks to the Village of West Haverstraw.
