The Tarble Art Center is currently sponsoring “Pathways: An Installation by Victoria Woolen-Danner.”

Woolen-Danner is a professional artist and Charleston native who works with fine metals and mixed media to create her art.

“(Woolen-Danner’s) piece is an installation that has a lot of different materials including a lot of different organic materials,” Kit Morice, the Curator of Education at the Tarble Arts Center, said.

Woolen-Danner uses organic materials along with metals to create a lifelike pathway.

Pathways include metals, sand and other found materials.

“We have her exhibition as one of the many programs and activities surrounding the (arts-in-education) residency,” Morice said.

Woolen-Danner will be working with local area schools including the Jefferson Elementary sixth grade, Charleston schools, Mattoon Middle School and Central A&M.

“(The exhibition) is a unique opportunity for area students to work with a professional artist,” Morice said.

The art of metal work is not often taught in schools.

Morice said the display is an interesting use of a lot of different materials that “you would never think of combining.”
