July 3-August 2: Rhythms of Life, a new show featuring ceramics by Yiu-Keung Lee and textiles by Lois Bryant, Sally Houck, and Marilyn M. Prucka. Each of these artists is inspired by the interaction between humans and their environment. Their artwork expresses their responses to life around them and the interplay between natural and constructed environments. Bryant’s recent series of weavings, “The Ground Beneath My Feet,” takes its imagery from asphalt, cracked cement, footprints, and tire tracks, surfaces usually overlooked or written off as ugly. Prucka finds inspiration in the River Raisin near her Monroe home. Her quilt series “Gatherings” is based on photographs she took of a puddle filled with windblown pine needles and reflected sky. Lee’s ceramic sculptures are concerned with the relationship between a human head and other forms, often components inspired by his children’s toys, objects, and drawings, and how these things are manipulated within their environment. Houck’s digital jacquard weavings often feature imagery taken from the garlic grown on her family’s farm. She uses unusual vantage points and close-ups to create abstracted designs. Opening reception Friday, July 11, 5:30-7:30 PM. Please note that the Gallery will be closed Friday, July 4.
