Photos and story by James Hill
Connie 欧洲杯决赛竞猜app_欧洲杯足球网-投注|官网shaw will show some of her more revealing ceramic work to visitors of the Northview Gallery on the Sylvania Campus, 12000 S.W. 49th Ave., from June 10 to September 24.
欧洲杯决赛竞猜app_欧洲杯足球网-投注|官网shaw, a Portland-area artist who also is an instructor in Asian art at Lewis and Clark College, makes free-standing sculptures that capture the complexity and delicacy of branching forms.
"I am attracted to the natural fertile chaos of tangled plant growth so characteristic of wet Western Oregon," 欧洲杯决赛竞猜app_欧洲杯足球网-投注|官网shaw said recently. "Trees and vines are central to my work, fascinating to me as visual forms and as symbols of the regenerating web of life."
Hugh Webb, Northview Gallery director, noted that 欧洲杯决赛竞猜app_欧洲杯足球网-投注|官网shaw will also exhibit wall-oriented ceramic reliefs. These brightly colored pieces are influenced by themes in Chinese art, as well as the tree of life tradition in Latin American folk ceramics.
The Northview Gallery, located at the Sylvania Campus in Room 214 of the Communication Technology (CT) Building. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 977-4264.
