The Sybaris Gallery's last ex-
hibition of the fall season,
opening Dec. 5 and running
through Dec. 31, will feature
the felt constructions of Joan
Livingstone and the fiber
sculptures of Jane Sauer.
Joan Livingstone's un-
dulating constructions, which
sit on the floor or lean against
walls, are a series of
enclosures that refer to the
limitations and potentialities
of the human body as con-
tainer. Their soft folds become
the female sex, while their
rigid overall shape suggests
the male. They appear to be
momentarily inert, poised
between growth and decay,
life and death.
Ms. Livingstone's sculp-
tures are made of industrial
felt. Constructed of sections
sewn together, they are
saturated with epoxy resin
which is sanded away when
the forms become hardened.
The actual shapes of Jane
Sauer's sculptures, while
never quite literal, often
bring to mind a range of
associations. Like Joan Liv-
ingstone's work, their
organicism frequently has
human or bodily references.
Especially when the pieces
are conceived of as pairs,
there may be a suggestion of
a duality of relationship bet-
ween, for example, male and
female, firmness and softness,
strength and weakness. This
ambivalence or lack of defini-
tion adds to their sense of
mystery.
Crafted by a method of ty-
ing and knotting waxed linen
threads (derived from tech-
niques of basketmaking), -

these forms result from a
systematic build-up of many,
tiny interconnected and ex-
tricable parts. An important
aspect of Ms. Sauer's
sculpture is the tension bet-
ween a strong overall visual
impression and the realiza-
tion of the complex delicacy o f
its making.
Ms. Sauer's training as a
painter aids her in visually
activating the surface of her
pieces. She applies paint both
to the fibers before weaving
and also on the finished
forms.
The gallery is at 301 West
Fourth Street, Royal Oak,
544-3388.
