If you are traveling through Denver International Airport in the coming months, take the opportunity to see Robischon Gallery artist Terry Maker’s recently completed installation featuring her acclaimed western hat series. On view now at DIA on Concourse B near Gate B62, enjoy the artist’s impressive Cowgirl Hat Ball, which measures 10 feet in diameter and is constructed from more than 500 Western-style straw hats. Located nearby, is Maker’s Cowgirl Hat 2, a witty companion sculpture composed of 175 miniature hats.

The monumental spherical sculptures celebrate the visual language of the American West while smartly challenging conventional gender associations embedded within its iconography. Through accumulation and inversion of the familiar cowboy hat—turning the crown inward and elevating the oval brim—Maker reimagines a deeply recognizable cultural symbol, offering a nuanced reconsideration of gendered hierarchies within Western art and culture.

Richly textured, visually intriguing and wonderfully unexpected, Terry Maker’s installation is presented as part of Denver International Airport’s rotating sculpture program.

I am pleased to be a part of
A Group Exhibition titled - Ostinatos

Opening reception:
Thursday, Jan 29th
6-8pm
@robischongallery
1740 Wazee Street
Denver, CO 80202

In the image above I'm standing in front of my 6 paneled 84"h x 132"W x 3.25"D piece titled the "Veil".

Constructed of thousands of drinking straws in shiny black resin, Veil is teeming with objects…yet what fills it is little black voids that, mesmerizingly, threaten to suck the viewer in. At the same time, the various red and gold felted circular forms are intended to create a haptic response, the desire to reach for those soft points of brilliance amongst the darkness.
As one might discover in liminal spaces the tantalizing invitation of the beyond, so the bright velvet limen (literally “threshold") point to a state of being, as Richard Rohr put it, “betwixt and between.” He continues: “The bubble of usual order has to be broken by a bit of whimsy, holy uselessness, deliberate disruption or displacement, learning to walk in the opposite direction. In liminal space we sometimes need to not-do and not-perform according to our usual…patterns.” Veil's (almost) endless repetition of circle upon circle (a form that is found in much of my work) captures the thirst, the endless cycle of longing and yearning, that characterizes our lives on this side of “the veil,” this earthly plane, and the numinous moments when something breaks through from the other side.
