    FORMAL ELEMENTS explores some fundamental (and formal) aspects of visual art including line, form, space, color and texture through the work of two Colorado artists, Patrick Marold and Pard Morrison. While these artists work with a familiar vocabulary, their work is a unique interpretation of fundamental concepts. The work is strangely human and alive, despite the inherent abstraction and industrial materiality; there is palpable life in Marold's string installation and Morrison's sculptures.

    Morrison has described his work as "an exploration of a hypothetical conversation between Donald Judd and Agnes Martin." His sculptures and wall-based works are experiments in color and shape, all featuring pristine surfaces. Morrison's photographs juxtapose his bold, minimalist sculptures with the natural landscape in Colorado - offering connections between the formal elements of art with the unpredictability of nature.

    Marold's site-specific installations address the architecture of a space. Using string and cable, Marold builds new form from the existing infrastructure. These ethereal shapes hover and breathe in the gallery, creating the allusion of life in simple materials.
