The Six at 6000 exhibit will open with an artists鈥 reception on Wednesday, Feb. 18 from 5:30 鈥 7:30 p.m. at the Conference Center. Please RSVP to Lori Caughey at 330-244-3518 or lcaughey@kent.edu. The reception is free and open to the public. Representatives of the press are encouraged to attend.
Mathis-Bertosa is a freelance photojournalist who is passionate about understanding other cultures and using photography to tell stories.
Mazzer鈥檚 art illustrates tensions between feminine strength and fragility. Her drawings and paintings express feminine identity adjusting itself in the arena of social networking.
McClelland says of her mixed media/sculptural piece in this show, 鈥淟ife鈥檚 events, whether minor or major, positive or negative, accumulate and form a skin that surrounds and defines. This piece examines and celebrates the memories that influence and build our individual identity.鈥
Abstract painter McWhorter explores the thinking processes and structures that make science and the arts work. His vibrantly colored, excited visual rhythms and patterns are intuitive evocations of physical phenomena and ephemeral forces in motion.
The recent works by printmaker O鈥橠onnell are comprised of, in her words, 鈥溾ggressive or consuming marks that build tension to create a chaotic beauty cultivated by chaos and a slow process of deterioration鈥︹
The mixed media assemblages by Wachunas are tactile metaphors for various dualities: hiding and revealing, illusion and reality, spirit and physicality.
