Chunghie Lee: My Cup Overflows
June 11, 2009 – October 18, 2009
Korean-born fiber artist, Chunghie Lee, has been strongly influenced by the Korean wrapping cloths called Pojagi. Her powerful installation references the anonymous, ancient women who, during the Choson Dynasty, created these functional works of art. Large panels of draped silk, hemp and linen – embellished with images of Korean woman and other symbols of the past – are simultaneously contemporary in their graphic nature. Lee’s works connect past and present. |

Days of Spring - Memories of Intimate Connections
Wood Sculpture by Christian Burchard
March 20 – November 29, 2009
Based in southern Oregon, wood sculptor Christian
Burchard creates sensuous wall sculptures from Pacific Madrone root burls. Blocks
of this wood are cut into thin panels that the artist sandblasts and bleaches
into series entitled “Skins” and “Torsos.” The
forms, with their undulations and textures, are supple and smooth, and
bring to mind landscapes, maps and bodies. |

Sculpting Color: Works in Polymer Clay
Curated by Kathleen Dustin
August 8, 2009 – November 8, 2009
Unlike any other materials in fine craft, polymer clay has no ancient history, no millennia as a utilitarian art form, no past masters from which to draw inspiration or technical expertise. And unlike any other material, the artist can work directly with color in their hands: mixing color; blending color; squeezing color; sculpting color; pinching different colors into patterns – all without intermediary tools. |

Organized by the Rochester Art Museum, this exhibition of ceramics
by Warren MacKenzie presents over 200 works of various styles and
approaches, spanning his remarkable 50-year artistic career. He
has studied the ceramics of many cultures, particularly Japan, whose
forms, glazes
and aesthetics can be

vessels reflects a worldview where art and life are one. Recognized

that is beautiful in a natural way and comfortable in the hand. |
