Werewolves in Palmer

A juried exhibit at Madd Matters Gallery sufficiently roused our curiosity to make the drive to Palmer recently. The theme of the show is wolves. Many of the pieces on display — which range from watercolors to bronze statues — were naturalistic portraits but a few percolated with imagination.

Evelyn Campbell’s “The Predator” is a wild, bright, primitive painting which one might accurately describe as fauvist. Tamora Harding-Child has a cheeky bas relief wood carving piece that assures us that grandmothers do taste like chicken. And a pair of Goth were-girls by Jenny Dayton suggested a whole new line of best-selling tween fashions.

Madd Matters has previously hosted juried shows on subjects like ravens and shoes. This one will stay up through Nov. 12. If you’re in the valley, check it out at 105 E. Arctic. Coming from the west on the Glenn Highway, drive through downtown Palmer, turn right onto East Arctic Ave. and look immediately to your left. Call for hours, 907-745-6045.
