OVER/under

Featuring the work of Mel Lyons and James Melchert.

Erecting Twister was an event in itself. Mel Lyons & William Wareham were reaching new heights with this piece. Once it was in place Mel checked each connection to be certain they were secure.

Jenny Bloomfield assisted James Melchert with unpacking his work for the show.

In typical Siskiyou style our community gave a warm welcome to these Bay area artists.

James Melchert’s informative artist discussion provided an insight to his work.

Mel Lyons explained the multiple meanings of the theme title OVER/under in his artist talk.

Gallery visitors explored the concept of OVER/under as they appreciated the context of the work.
