Poet from Chicago, rambled out to Montana, cut a banjo from a tamarack, strings across the country, foot like a freight train, voice rushing down over lush Appalachia, sings a thrush tune through the rush hour and into your long-forgotten prairie dreams.

The Penland Gallery presents Family Dinner, an exhibition of wood sculpture by artist Vivian Chiu, through August 30. A reception will be held on Friday, July 18 from 4:30 to 6:30 PM with an artist talk at 4:30 PM.

The pieces in the exhibition are vessel forms made from pine crate wood. The artist received a gift of wooden shipping crates from Wing On Wo and Co, the oldest continuously operated storefront in Manhattan’s Chinatown. She dismantled them, cut them into hundreds of carefully calculated pieces, and then reassembled them into vessel forms that echo the porcelain wares that were shipped in the crates. Some of the pieces incorporate marquetry to create narrative imagery evoking stories of Chiu’s childhood in Hong Kong.

The work is beautiful and evocative, the technical complexity and execution are remarkable, and it all adds up to a breathtaking exhibition.
