The Wave by Cheryl Sorg


My friend and local artist Cheryl Sorg sent this over to me. It's titled "The Wave".  For those who don't know her work she makes art out of the words and sentences in books. All the lines you see are words cut from the book and reassembled into form. This piece is made from the short story by Haruki Murakami called 'The Seventh Man' in which a man tells the story of witnessing his best friend being washed away by a giant wave in a typhoon when he was a kid, and how that event affected the rest of his life.  

This piece and others will be on display at the Eric Phleger Gallery.

Opening for the show is Thursday Oct. 7th 6-8pm
