This work urges the onlooker into the Bridge Gallery, inviting him to join Linda Connor's world, a virtual universe within her mind. Scattered throughout the gallery are Connor's stoneware candelabra pieces, each basically similar to the others except for subtle color pattern variations. Unique silver jewelry displayed within plastic cubes has the air of New York City trendy jewelry worn only by eccentric Greenwich Village dwellers. Strange, yet fashionably alluring, were the turquoise, tigers eye, amethyst, garnet and other stones set in silver. The stoneware and terracotta pottery seems a bit archaic, as if dug up on some archaeological expedition, but it beautifully represents a primitive art rarely mirrored in present day forms.
Frogs are subjects that resonate throughout the exhibit.
Other frog works seem a bit too cartoonish, but exemplify similar color mastery on the part of the artist. A few portraits dot the gallery, flawless in their emulation of the subject. Perfectly devoid of emotion, she claims her presence and makes her role in the work clear as more than just a pretty face. It hints at skyscrapers crumbling, or windows looking out onto nothing. Illumination-like posters sing their messages through flawless calligraphy and brilliant background color work.
