Published February 2, 2009 5:00am ET



McDaniel College Department of Art and Art History will display “Grey Vibrations: Sculpture by Chris LaVoie,” through Feb. 20 on campus in the Esther Prangley Rice Gallery in Peterson Hall.

A sculptor and multimedia artist, LaVoie’s work focuses on themes of domesticity, stasis and movement as he deconstructs and reconstructs familiar middle-class objects. With society’s conflicting desires to rest at home and to be in constant movement toward something new, LaVoie’s work endeavors to fill the space between home and the road.

LaVoie, who lives in Baltimore, has exhibited his work nationally, in galleries along the East Coast from North Carolina to New York to points west, including Arizona. He is preparing for solo exhibitions this year at McDaniel as well as at the Arlington Art Center in Virginia.

The exhibit is free and open to the public. McDaniel College is located at 2 College Hill in Westminster. For more information and gallery hours, call 410-857-2595.
