Sculpture by Billy Gerard Odwori
A week or two ago, maybe three already, Billy an artist recently come from Uganda, visited the gallery, not for the first time.
After talking with Ed and I at the front desk he pulled this sculpture out of his bag to show us.
It was and is staggering that he could make something this dynamic, balanced, proportioned,
and so small (it is about a foot in height) out of paper mache. I asked him if I could purchase
it from him and he was excited to sell it. I placed it immediately in the East Genesis Gallery
which has a working theme of 'a m a t t e r o f s p i r i t' . This sculpture embodies both.
