Norm
Darvie takes us through four tomented stages of fear
in his hydrocal sculpture series called "Souls
of the Wrathful."
|
|
Su
Van Exel carved this exel-ent alabaster bust named "Self
Portal."
Its
swerves and curves are like hors d'ouvres.
|
|
"Small
Vessles" by Sandra Palmer Shaw are
the perfect way to hold even smaller objet d'art.
Within
the objet are even smaller boxes of Quaker Oats.
|

If
you've got the time, we got the clocks.
"Decorative
Clocks" by Leslie Bryce... a micro-mini
solo show.
Un-encumbered
with all those pesky numerals, who needs 'em?
Notice
they all show 2:30 or thereabouts.
For
a good time, visit the Arts Upstairs!

What
we leave out says as much as what we include. Like the sound
of one hand clapping.
Rachel
X. Weissman inaugurates her TAU career with "Reaching
back for a pillow."
The
title may be a reference to words spoken by a Zen master. Ask
Rachel. Just don't ask her what the X stands for.

"Reclining
nude with doorknob buttocks" is
my first close encounter with Ben Rubin. The
cubist inspired figure is packed with simultaneously incongruous
perspectives and curoiusly asymmetrical breasts.
I
finally understand how someone could contract venereal desease
from a doorknob.
|
|
Moving
right along, we have this spermatozooic action figure titled:
"Firebird."
Not
to be confused with "Freebird."
Not
that I was confused.
Gerald
Hopkins wasn't.
He
did not hesitate to use the wrist, elbow and shoulder in this
cunningly framed third of a tryptich.

Bronson
Eden's
flights of graphite make it de rigeur to visit his symphonious
new solo show at Arts Upstairs.
A
fandango jumble-aya of Tarot, Mucha, Gunga Din, Tinkerbelle
and Dia de los Muertes.
With
a dash of Sweedish nudist colony cheesecake.
"Little
Mr. Know-It-All" may know, but he sure ain't tellin'.
|
|
I
am swimming in the waxy translucence of "Girl on
Grass with Mirror."
Or
is it transcendence?
Mirror,
mirror on the grass... how I wonder about that lass.
What
immortal hand or eye could frame thy fragile symmetry?
Phillip
Franklin is the framer. They ain't doorknobs.

Marguerite
deSoleil has created a perfect micro-mini-nano solo
show with her glass encrusted display.
Just
in time for the mad Christmas rush.
Terracottas!

Joyceannewlodarczyk.
Gesuntheit.
"Las
Obritas"
Maybe
little works of art?
Salud!
|
|
"Moon
Rising Over Pond"
is a world within a world by Salvorita, colored
in moonshine.
|
|
I'm
not sure I agree with the central hypothesis of Tom
Fraser's "Truly Sparrow Est Belle."
The
painting is truly belle however, so I will not make a big stink
about it.
|
Well, now all that is left
for you to do is drop by the gallery and make Virginia happy.
She has been very good this year.
