Snow Walk: Adams Morgan to Dupont Circle

Lauriol's sentinels.

Snow split.

Echo: umbrella and Dupont Circle fountain's dish.

Snow Lights

"The red light contains some orange in its hue, and the green light contains some blue, to provide some support for people with red-green color blindness." (Wiki) The whiteness of the snow wrapped around the lights brought that out for me.

Textural Tracings Exhibit

Installation views of the "Textural Tracings" Exhibit at Coastal Carolina University in Myrtle Beach, So. Carolina. This is a three-person show, which includes the works of Beth Kendall, Novie Trump and yours truly.















The Gallery occupies a huge space (55'x25'). It was a challenge and a delight to place our 25 works in this beautiful place.

Each work was positioned with plenty of room to breathe.

Talking to the students of the Sculpture, Mixed Media and Professional Development classes was great fun and stimulating. An exhibit like ours is one way for students to ask questions about contemporary sculpture and for me to receive fresh feedback about my work.


With the fabulous help of Gallery Director Cynthia Farnell and an energetic team of people (thanks to Dan, Rachel, Wayne, Matt, Chris, and Easton among others), we installed a great show. Chris and Cynthia install one of Beth's pieces here.


Thanks to the generosity of Cynthia Farnell and the Rebecca Bryan Gallery of Coastal Carolina University!

Arlington Arts Center - GRACE

This week I had a chance to drop by Doug Moulden's acrylic and plaster on plywood wall sculpture show at Greater Reston Arts Center and IMAGE/PROJECT, a photography and video show curated by Taryn Simon at the Arlington Arts Center.

Doug Moulden makes empty landscapes so the viewer can insert herself into the scene. To me, the work feels like tapestries on the wall. They appear soft and as though they were draped on the wall. The effect of many layers of acyrlic ink was pleasingly impressionistic and invited the touch.

IMAGE/PROJECT
Leslie Awender's photography is striking. She has 5 works related works, her Red Earth series, in this show. They invite comparison and kept me coming back to observe their details more closely.

Alma Leiva's work is a reminder of the power and manipulative quality of photographs. She documents in her videos the violence in Honduras.

Upstairs is new work by resident artist Jill Romanoke. Her kimono-like hanging system for her double-sided drawings is very successful, drawing me all the way around the work and encouraging appreciation of the prints on translucent paper created both in Maine and here in Arlington.

1050 K Light Box Gallery

Monday flyby: the hallway galleries in the gorgeous new building at 1050 K Street, NW (designed by Hickok Cole Architects.) Check out the lobby light box currently featuring Ezra Stoller's photographs of "Man in the Machine". The light box was included early in the building design process, because the client wanted to tie the building together with artwork.
