Mimi Abers, Aging Pugilist

Having worked in clay for over 30 years and being enamored with the translucency of glass, it wasn’t hard to move to making clay molds that then need to be cast with a plaster/silica mixture that can be put in my programmable kiln filled with different forms of glass frit, sheet, billets, all tested to be compatible which means they have the same coefficient of expansion. The glass after coming to temperature has to be very slowly annealed, usually taking a week. Since glass is expensive, I’ve been exploring ways to make these forms thinner. Combining clay and glass works perfectly and is a lot of fun.

Eric Engstrom’s new exhibition includes works by his late father, original art and photography from throughout his long career, and new mixed media. Eric is now exploring the story behind each image, and writing captions and historical information directly on the art.  In this way both the visual and verbal content expands the meaning of the subjects he has chosen.

Fascinated by the evolution from two-lane primary routes to six-lane Interstate highways in the 1960s and 1970s, Eric has photographed hundreds of buildings and “roadscapes” on back roads and old main routes.  Since the turn of the 21^st century, He has discovered and photographed a rich trove of interesting buildings and landscapes.  Eric has continued to use his photographs of the American roadside as a basis for his innovative mixed-media collages

Myong-Ah-Rawitscher-Remembrance 005

In Far From Home, the Book of Remembrance, Myong-Ah Rawitscher uses several images at once, combined within a single frame, to create a poetic space. Each piece is conceived of as a poem or an essay on personal memories, or the experiences of daily life in the present. The work reflects both her own “Far From Home” experience and the experiences of others who have told her their stories.

Myong-Ah was born in a Year of the Sheep and grew up in Seoul, Korea. She attended Yon Sei University and after graduating traveled to the US to pursue her interest in photography.  She received an MFA degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York and currently makes her home in the San Francisco Bay Area.
