FLOW

The word “flow” carries a lot of meaning for Asheville multi-disciplinary artist David Sheldon. At its most literal, the single syllable refers to water — the cool, dark eddies of a High Country stream, the thunderous roar of a Pisgah waterfall, the lazy lapping of a mountain lake. But psychologically speaking, “flow” refers to the mental state Sheldon achieves when painting or sculpting. All concepts of time and self slip away, and nothing exists but the task before him. This September, Sheldon will dive into these nuances during FLOW, a solo show at Mark Bettis Gallery in the River Arts District.
