In his more extravagant moments, Marc Swanson hones a style that one might call "glam hunting lodge": think of the artist covering a ram's head with rhinestones or treating white t-shirts to look like tanned animal hide. Personal symbolism — linked to facets of his present life or the conservative milieu of his upbringing — plays a prominent role in his work, although this current exhibition brings out a more meditative (even mystical) side, along with touches of geometric abstraction. In the polished gallery space, the cultivated kitsch factor and emotional reverberations of Swanson's sculptures fall away somewhat, while his talent for transforming materials comes to the fore.
