JACKSON — Snake River Brewery:  Snake River Brewing has turned to a full can and keg brewery! The brewery made the move from bottles to cans for many reasons — a highlighted list:   cans are better for beer (oxygen & UV light are kept out); their cans are made in Worland, WY (we love local!); the lighter cans take less fossil fuels to ship; cans are great for local recycling centers… We’re digging it!

GOSHEN COUNTY — Table Mountain Vineyards:  It’s no secret that we dig darn near everything that Patrick and our other buds over at TMV put out there. Read Patrick’s latest column in the current issue of Lifestyle (“A Sprinter Walk Through the Vines”), and check out this video they put out of the Sandhill Cranes migrating past the vineyard… Is it food? No. Is it made by a rocking Wyoming winery? Yes. As you prepare for your summer adventures, I highly recommend placing Goshen County on your list:  visit Fort Laramie National Historic Site and fill your brain with some amazing Wyoming history; then journey over to nearby Huntley and visit the winery. Their tasting room is full of good wine AND good Wyoming-made products…

“Baby Fox”, LuDel Deal Walter

CORRIDOR GALLERY IN CASPER WELCOME LuDEL DEAL WALTER 

Refuse – Original Art by LuDel Deal Walter

The Refuse of life remains.  We Refuse to look at it.  This work Re-fuses the discarded object with meaning. My work communicates the boundaries of where time passes into memory and life passes into death.  How does memory hold the past captive?  How does place tie into time and memory?  This body of work refuses the passage of time by freezing the process of decay — a stop-action of a very slow natural process.  Memory seems to work in a similar fashion; as we recall people and events from our memories, they are frozen at a particular time like stop-action movie stills or loops of a single scene.

I incorporate objects that are often ignored or overlooked to create meaning.  The carcasses and the refuse of our lives are more than simple objects; they connect to the time when life and purpose was contained there.  I am using recycled and found objects (hand-made paper, junk, bones, etc.) to represent the passage of time and the space between life and death.  I find that by using images of actual carcasses and garbage in combination with textured papers and found objects, I have a stronger connection to the work because I’m forced to consider the feelings of disgust, shame and ambivalence surrounding the objects.  This body of work refuses the inevitability of  loss of meaning and purpose. We no longer revere life enough to consider the process of dying; because we can’t embrace death, we can’t fully embrace life.  Every living thing has a quality that leaves the body at the time of death.  Every object has a quality of memory.  What is that liminal quality?  Where is it?  These pieces are intended to ask the viewer to consider the life and purpose that once inhabited these images. – LuDel Deal Walter

The Corridor Gallery proudly presents “Refuse”, a solo exhibit of Wyoming artist LuDel Deal Walter. LuDel is an accomplished artist that is following through with her first Corridor solo exhibit after winning “Best In Show” during a past Corridor call-for-entries show based upon the subject of religion. The public and press are invited to attend the opening reception of “Refuse” on Friday, March 30th at 7pm. The exhibit will show only through Sunday, April 1st. The Corridor Gallery appreciates your continued support for local and regional artwork.
