It’s going to be a good show.” Wubbena will have an eight-foot steel and painted concrete sculpture on display at the event. The abstract, geological form is meant to have audiences question art and reality, he said. “With art, sometimes the meanings can change or blur over time and be different to different people and different times,” Wubbena said. “Even sometimes our view of reality is blocked or deterred and that’s where the concrete comes in blocking the window formed between the two stones sitting on top of each other.”
