Troika is the innovative creation of three Floyd women: Susan Icove of Icove Lighting, Gibby Waitzkin of Sarvisberry Gallery and Studio, and Silvie Granatelli of Granatelli Pottery.  Each artist has brought her own unique, sophisticated tastes and design sensibilities to the intimate space of Troika Gallery.  The result is domestic, inviting, and aesthetically stimulating.    Inside the gallery Susan’s lighting creations, Gibby’s work on paper, and Silvie’s porcelain pottery create an environment that is even more intriguing than the individual components. 

The space is bathed in the soft light of Susan’s unique solutions to interior lighting.  Her functional three-dimensional montages of found objects are playful, surprising, and often somewhat anthropomorphic. 

Gibby’s work combines paper that the artist makes from local plant fibers, encaustic preserved flowers and leaves, and photographic images.  Filled with botanical, historical, and personal reference, her works with paper awake the viewer’s sense of wonder. 

Silvie’s porcelain pottery is rooted in the tradition of food and hospitality.  Her graceful forms echo the natural world, animal life, and the human body, and bring ritual and ceremony to the table.
