The Distillery Gallery is showcasing a retrospective of sculptor and longtime Distillery resident Joyce McDaniel following her retirement in 2014. The exhibition will feature her early welded steel works and her later sculptures of steel mesh overlaid with dressmaker pattern paper.

“Patterns, whether dressmaker or behavioral, involve instructions and directions. Going against the grain, this work embodies metaphors about conformity to narrowly defined roles and rules for women.” – Joyce McDaniel
