‘Between looking and understanding’

“Grocery Conveyor” (mixed media), by Cathy Della Lucia, in her two-person show with Lee Williams titled “Sculptural Ideas: Line, Color, and Form,’’ at Burlington City Arts, March 13-June 20, 2026

The gallery says:

“Foundational art elements–line, color, and form–influence the composition of sculpture as well as how we interact with it in an idiosyncratic way. The effect that sculpture has in space and the physical imposition it creates engages our subconscious and our non-verbal observations. Using tools like line, color, or form to communicate gesture, scale, or motion, three-dimensional artwork both passively and actively manipulates our perceptions. This idea may seem basic, but it often carries broader implications about the artist's intent or the artwork's impact on the viewer. ‘Sculptural Ideas: Line, Color, and Form’ seeks to close the gap between looking and understanding when interacting with contemporary sculpture.
