‘What else can they become?’

Work by Cynthia Atwood (polish, fabric, paint, interior fan, extension cord), in her joint show with Mark Lorah, “Visceral Resonance,’’ at AVA Gallery and Art Center, Lebanon, N.H., through May 1o.

She says she is “attracted to materials and takes pleasure in handling and pushing them and wonders what else they can become? I enjoy being struck by a concept and then playing with it, wondering how the concept can become an object and visa versa.’’
