Charles Farrar: Reveal Our Souls
Renowned woodturner Charles Farrar expounds the sentiment of art allowing us to reveal our souls. This expression that art allows gives way to being fully exposed and the Gantt has been a gateway to do just that.
A self-taught artisan, Farrar transforms found wood into works of art, often characterized by irregular grain patterns, knots, and voids that provoke varied commentary. Farrar has curated and shown in exhibitions at the Gantt, specifically Shaping the Vessel: Mascoll + Samuel and Romancing the Eye: Louis Delsarte, Charles Farrar and Larry Lebby.
