Sometimes size does matter. Certainly, that’s the case with Kevin Caron’s sculptures, ranging from palm-sized to monumental. With “Micro/Macro: The Sculptural Art of Kevin Caron,” it’s all in the eye of the viewer. He says via press release: "Some people look at my sculptures and see a universe, while others see a molecule." Caron attempts to accommodate those views as “Micro/Macro” explores the limits of size and the visual perceptions generated by his three-dimensional forms. A Valley resident and named 2012 Sculptor of the Year by Art Trends magazine, Caron’s sculptures turn heads -- sometimes way up, sometimes way down -- and a new perspective is always good.

Caron's work is on view in the Chandler Center for the Arts Exhibition Hall, 250 North Arizona Avenue. Hours Tuesday, September 10, are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit is free, and runs through Saturday, October 26. Call 480-782-2695 or visit www.chandlercenter.org.

Fri., Sept. 6, 6-9 p.m.; Saturdays, 12-5 p.m.; Mondays-Fridays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: Sept. 6. Continues through Oct. 26, 2013
