The Masterworks Museum is excited to announce the opening of Taking Shape, a sculptural group show in the Rick Faries Gallery, featuring works by Liana Nanang, Zoë Dyson, Stratton Hatfield, and Scott King. Focused on three-dimensional works, Taking Shape highlights the diversity that sculpture as a medium can provide. Taking Shape opened on December 1st, 2022, and will be on view until January 10th, 2023.

There will also be an Artist Talk, Wednesday December 7th, from 5:30-7pm, featuring Liana Nanang, Stratton Hatfield and Scott King, each discussing the works included in the exhibition. This talk is free for members to attend, and $10 for non-members.

Liana Nanang is a multidisciplinary storyteller with Black-Bermudian, indigenous Iban-Malaysian and Scottish heritage. Her work as a writer, sculptor, painter, and performer navigates race, nationality, trauma, resilience, spirituality, neurodivergence, and colonialism.

Zoe Dyson is a Bermudian artist and educator, currently teaching at Greenwich Academy in Greenwich, CT, in the Engineering and Design Lab. Her passion for digital design has evolved into more sculptural work by virtue of this teaching space and the resources available. Always creating digital art, she experiments by bringing these designs into 3D space through methods like fabric printing, and model-making.

Stratton Hatfield is an artist, designer, social activist, and sustainability leader. Stratton has been making art since childhood and has been involved with creating various art forms throughout his academic and professional career. Since 2011, he has used endemic and invasive plants to fabricate concrete cast sculptures in a process he calls YART.

Scott King is a self-taught sculptor who works with ivory, cedar, and stone. In recent years, his primary choice has been marble. He has exhibited at the Masterworks Museum of Art, in the Charman Prize since 2012, and at the Bermuda Society of Arts, with varied sculptural subjects from animals to figures, vessels and abstract forms.
