The Wizard's Rubble, Chapter 1


  • 325 E Main Street Norman, OK, 73069 United States (map)

Join us second Friday for a truly fantastic sculpture experience courtesy of Oklahoma’s own Nick Lillard.

The Wizard’s Rabble brings together life lessons through familiar animals and recognizable mythical characters. Some of these figures are grounded in the tangible, such as cats and jackrabbits, while others—wizards, dragons, and aliens—allow for more stylized, abstract interpretations. Regardless of the subject, all the characters emerge from the presence of voids and are defined by directional, expressive metal lines that detail and energize each form.

Themes of anxiety, fear, and calmness surface through these figures, engaging with concepts like redemption, violence, and the very act of existence. Each piece leaves much of the narrative to the viewer’s imagination, yet hints of meaning are embedded in the context surrounding each character. Ultimately, it is through their interaction with space that these beings define their own existence.
