Held in conjunction with the 2nd Biennial Western Cast Iron Art Conference in Missoula, May 6 - 9, the exhibition honors keynote artists Elizabeth Kronfield and Matthew Wicker. Their work combines cast iron or bronze with evocative materials such as stone, horsehair, ash or cloth. "This work is drawn from my time and experiences in the West--influenced by everything from the vast spaces to individuals to politics to livestock in the backyard to living off a dirt road," says Kronfield.
