The Burchfield Penney has recently added a work by Lynn B. Northrup to their collection – “Theras”.

Social media and digital content specialist Julia Norris writes, “Lynn B. Northrop’s mixed media sculpture, Theras, takes shape as a steely-eyed raptor comprised of natural and human-made objects. Regarding the amalgam of these artifacts, Northrop writes, “… each retains a memory of the many hands that used them. When combined, these connections amplify, and the sculptures become capacitors of thought.” A gift from the artist, we are grateful that this piece is now a part of the collection!

Theras, 2007-21; Mixed media sculpture comprised of parts of chafing dish, test tubes, natural materials, copper float ball, shoehorns, masonry nails, wooden vase, and candlesticks, 27” H, x 10” D x 10” W; Collection of the Burchfield Penney Art Center; Gift of the artist, 2021.
