AUGGHHH! Unreal Monsters!

From Mill & Mountain - September 2001: A Newsletter for Friends of the Mountain Playhouse and Gristmill Productions; Jennerstown PA

The Jenner Gallery wraps up the 2001 exhibit schedule with the whimsical papiér maché creatures of Indiana PA artist, Gene Fenton. Fenton's use of the medium is distinctive.

"When I work in papiér maché, I treat it like clay," he says. "I like to use several layers of thick papiér maché that make the material easier to mold with my hands."

Fenton says he is influenced by black and white film monsters and dinosaurs. "These old cinematic images are less than 'accurate,'" he explains, "but they are dramatic and expressive."

We'll have a chance to enjoy Gene Fenton's works during the run of Always ... Patsy Cline, October 3-14 at the Mountain Playhouse.
