********** COLLEGE GALLERY **********

PAINTINGS & DRAWINGS BY PAMELA MILLS
Through January 6, 2009
Tree

ArtworkIn recent paintings and drawings, Pamela Mills confronts the sheer physical presence and metaphorical power of trees in the Northwest woods. Arcing branch patterns play off the majesty of towering trunks; twigs and branches in a burn pile reveal a complex beauty of accidental form. Meant as "an urgent offering for repair," these works engage us in an empathetic perception of our endangered natural world.

 




RECENT WORK IN CLAY BY BRUCE AMSTUTZ
Jan 8, 2009 - Feb 3, 2009
ArtworkArt Faculty Member Bruce Amstutz would rather have his hands in clay. Most of the pieces in this show are from his studio in the woods on Lopez Island where he spends his Summers. These vessel forms represent his interest in the character of clay and its response to forming actions like throwing, cutting, pressing and tearing. He strives to use very simple materials for glazes, like wood ash and surface clay that he digs from beside his kiln.
