Sarah Stout at Gallery 10

Sarah Stout's exhibition "New Sculptures and Prints" at Gallery 10 closes December 1.

In the works in this show Stout explores the qualities of translucence in abstract sculptures and prints.

Laminated fabric shaped over a mould or in folded sheets is the material developed for the sculptures, both relief and free standing.

Silk screen prints are likewise composed of many layers of translucent ink. Lines and color between the layers appear to recede into the depths of the composition.

Sarah Stout is a Gallery 10 artist.

Anne Banks - Gallery 10 Artist

"Artemus"




"One of a series of iconic images of the goddess.

Artemis, with her roots in the earth, is the huntress and protector of the wild things of the forest. She is the archetypal symbol of freedom and independence.

My work in the various media of drawing, painting, sculpture and collage is inspired by forms in nature, memories, the remembered shapes and colors of landscape, including architecture and the connections between earth and sky.

Archetypal icons figure in the paintings. The collages are metaphors on a small scale for larger structures in the world."

Anne Bamks is also the author of "What is Design". You can find out more about her book and read her articles about art and design on her website.

Anne Banks is an artist and educator who received her B.A. from Wellesley College and M.F.A. from The George Washington University. She exhibits her work in the Washington, DC, area as well as nationally and abroad. She is professor emeritus at Northern Virginia Community College where she was instrumental in developing a course in the history of design.

Claiming Space at the Katzen Museum

There is a terrific exhibition, Claiming Space: Some American Feminist Originators at the Katzen Museum at American University. So good, in fact, that Jessica Dawson has a large review of it in this morning's Washington Post.

The works in the show are choice! They bring back memories to those of us who were paying attention in those days. The curators Nrma Broude and Mary Garrard have selected a fine show and written an excellent catalog which clarifies the issues then - and now?

This is a show well worth seeing , not once but several times.

COMMENTS:

The work holds up after 30+ years. The spacious setting at the museum highlights the importanceof the Women's Arts movement.
