NEXT!
Sunday, 8/11/19, 3p: Artists Talks with Caroline Burton, Lee Arnold and Katrina Bello

Katrina Bello will talk about the narratives and experiences that informed her decision to chose drawing, size and scale to convey personal memory, migration, family and the Pacific Ocean.

Caroline K Burton will discuss her wall works and their relationship to the women who raised her, the bronze works that are influenced by her father, and the hydrocal sculptures that relate to the experience of insomnia.

Lee Arnold will speak about the continuously looped videos in the exhibit in which constructions build layer by layer, engaging elemental concepts of scale, repetition, color and sound, and morph into abstracted landscapes and imagined worlds.

Free as always, refreshments provided.
