Alter Altar is a solo exhibition of sculptures and site-specific installations by Millicent Young.  The exhibit includes seventeen works fabricated over 20 years and installed in two historic barn buildings in Stone Ridge, New York. These artworks range from loft-filling installations embedded with motion-activated sound to smaller-scaled wall-mounted works that respond to the hand-hewn quality of the vernacular spaces. Young’s work draws on the power of simple materials such as clay, horsehair, sticks, metal and rope to weave, thread, stitch, join, forge, hammer, sculpt, bind, and scribe the surrounding environment with a clarity and austerity that elevates the common and creates space for being. The exhibition was reviewed by Nina Chkareuli-Mdivani and published on October 13, 2023.

Work included in this exhibition was supported with an Individual Artist grant from the State Council on the Arts/Arts Mid Hudson.
