TAYLOE PIGGOTT GALLERY is pleased to present Permanent Transience, an exhibition of sculpture by BibiMichèle, the mother-daughter collaboration of Michèle Deiters and Bibi van der Velden, on view September 21st through October 22nd, 2023. An artist reception will be held at the gallery Thursday, September 21st from 5-7pm. All are invited to attend.
Through this exhibition of natural white alabaster sculpture, the artists, (mother) Michèle Deiters and (daughter) Bibi van der Velden, explored how all things are flowing, moving, and finding new form. This exhibition follows BibiMichèle's first collection of sculpture, called Confronting Time, exhibited at Tayloe Piggott Gallery in 2021, and further probes the elusive and contradictory nature of time. In recognizing that objects of the natural world exist as only a tiny blip, then transform, decay or disappear, BibiMichèle sculpt, capture and celebrate moments when organic elements are in full bloom, at their finest and their ripest. These moments are these objects' most "perfect" but equally most fleeting state of existence, always on the brink of cessation.
