Master metalsmith David Secrest featured in new exhibit

The Wanda Hollensteiner Art Gallery in Kalispell is hosting a new exhibition titled "David Secrest: The Unprejudiced Silence of Things that Are," running through May 23. The show features the work of the Somers-based master metalsmith, whose four-decade career spans forged iron, fabricated steel, bronze, and woodworking. Secrest, who was named a "Master Metalsmith" by the Metal Museum in 2017, is recognized for a visual language that blends natural forms with rigorous material manipulation.
