<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Words
like ''natural'' and ''organic'' imply goodness by association. But the more
they've become marketing buzzwords, the murkier their definitions have become.
The exhibition statement for "Second Nature," now on display at the
Albany International Airport Gallery, identifies the problem with such terms:
they once signified things we humans "haven't manufactured or meddled with."
Now, humans affect almost every aspect of nature through such things as global
warming and genetic modification. The show's artists deal with nature, and the
loaded terms we use to talk about it, in a multitude of ways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is the province of Roberly Bell, as well. Her brightly colored fiberglass forms
resemble something out of a Dr. Seuss book. Bulging and bulbous, these figures
sprout fake flowers or found objects in mutated still life vignettes. The
objects she chooses — a china bird, a ceramic dog — underscore our fascination
with manufactured representations of nature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was an honor to be asked to jury this project. The variety of submissions was
impressive, ranging from intimate figurative drawings to large-scale abstract
paintings and from sculptural constructions to gallery-sized installation work.
The creative impulse evident across the works was inspiring. I hope this
important program will continue to grow and reach more artists in the future.
It is a rare, generous, and much needed support for artists."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
