Sondra Gerber graduated from Colorado Art Institute in 1994 with an emphasis in fashion design.  Early on in her work she began to explore three-dimensional design with a variety of mediums ranging from fabric to wood to wire. Her career as a metal sculptor began when she took her first welding class in 2001.    Sondra’s aluminum sculptures have an intimate interaction between shape, shadow, reflection and movement. The use of positive and negative shapes within the intricate cut of her designs cast alluring shadows that interact with the piece itself. Carefully planned out patterns and textures are ground into the surface to reflect light, creating the appearance of movement. Arranging multiple layers of images challenges the spectator to look beyond the surface. This is the hallmark of her work. Other than the intricate grinding textures that finish out her work, Sondra also uses transparent powder-coating and dyes for color variety to lend yet another unique finishing touch beyond the metals’ airy silver color. Absolute Gallery has a limited supply of Sondra’s ornaments, so come early for the best selection. #absolute_gallery #absolutegallery #art #artists #oldtownlansing #lovelansing #metalpetalsstudio #sondragerber #holidayornaments #aluminumornament #metalartist #3dornaments #3dart #madeinnebraska #madeinamerica #madeinusa #indieme #acre_shows #retro #trendy #holiday #holidayornament #musthave (at Absolute Gallery)
