Personal Geometry
Emerson Gallery:
Artists have always drawn inspiration, format and subject from the world of geometry. Throughout history many art movements have geometric concepts or structures at their root or as a major component. As a general rule, geometrically related work is often pristine, hard-edged and detached. This exhibit brings together the work of six artists who incorporate geometry, either conceptually or as a central compositional component, while also including elements or techniques that allow for personal expression. In so doing, the duality between structure and order and expressive spontaneity is highlighted. Featured artists include David Carlson, Betsy Damos, Carol Brown Goldberg, Francie Herster, Kathy Snow Stratton and Lynda Ray.
all nearness pauses
new work by Karey Kessler
(inspired by the poetry of e.e. cummings)
Atrium Gallery:
Using pieces of the already fragmented poems of e.e. cummings as a starting point, this series of atmospheric maps represents Kessler’s attempt at depicting space, time and the experience of place. The elusiveness of memory and the internal landscape of emotion are explored through a combination of color, line, image and words.

Fields and Flora: New Work by Naomi Chung
Ramp Gallery:
In an attempt to involve all the senses, Naomi Chung creates paintings that fuse landscape and abstraction. Relying heavily on the process of painting, which for Chung involves equal parts building up and scraping back the image, she attempts to depict an event as it unfolds rather than a specific place or moment in time. Also included are etchings that evolve in a similar manner while exploring the essentially expressive possibilities of line work.
