“The foundation for my work lies within the understanding of primordial forms and their purpose throughout history,” says glass artist Chad Holliday. He creates contemporary glass sculpture to communicate these timeless shapes, many of which are derived from European architecture and gothic cathedrals. Along with his solo exhibition, titled Primordial Forms, at the Bender Gallery, Holliday will give a talk and live demonstration on Saturday, June 7, from 1-3 p.m. The demo is free, but reservations are encouraged. The opening reception for the show takes place on Friday, June 6, 5-8 p.m. in conjunction with downtown Asheville’s First Friday Art Walk. bendergallery.com. Photo courtesy of Bender Gallery
