Brains and Beauty, Have it all!!!; Brain Beauty, Beauty Brain was just installed at the Camano Island Library
Camano Island Library Call for Art Project #3 is installed! In the photos below you can get a glimpse of Michael Hamilton of michaelhamiltonfurniture.com, David Menard, Library Manager of the Camano Island Library and myself installing my science inspired multi-panel acrylic painting Brain Beauty, Beauty Brain on the wall in the reading room of the Camano Island Library. Inspired by brain imagery, each panel depicts a different aspect of the brain at the microscopic level, (neurons, auditory cortex, cerebellum, retina etc). It was a very focussed experienced as we contemplated lifting the painting above the library shelves in order to hang it without damaging painting or wall. It was accomplished with a team effort and z- clip type hanging hardware.

(Textiles) and Joan Cihak (Ceramic Jewelry). As the summer draws to a close and fall beckons,
our artists continue to experiment and delight.
To
give you a bird’s eye tour of our August show, here we go!
Irene Yesley has created a
geometric minimalist painting of playful vertical stripes upon a horizontal
canvas occupying an entire gallery wall, juxtaposed with Tom Johnson’s fiber
sculptures of horizontal striped ridges and furrows cascading vertically down
the wall.
Andrea Lawson has rendered her
concept of brain functions, wild and colorful random movements across nine
painted panels, which represent different parts of the brain seen at different
levels of magnification. Andrea has just won a public art competition to create
a larger permanent installation based on this study, called Brain Beauty, Beauty Brain, for the Camano Island Public Library’s
Reading Room. After exploring several
scientific fields for inspiration, in response to the Library’s call for a
hanging work with a scientific theme, Andrea chose to concentrate on the brain.
The brain controls our cognitive processes, our physical movements and even our
memories. On another level, the work relates to the library, reading and brain
development. Both the organ, and the learning process, give us the ability to
think at a high level and to create, functions which distinguish us as human
beings.
Gerardo Aguayo’s work is
reminiscent of the confident color blocs of Manet and Cezanne, and Rivera and Kahlo’s
figurative paintings. The monotypes of Karen
Chaussabel and Renée Jameson are saturated with the color of summer
seascapes, while the minimalist works of Lisa Wederquist remind us of
our environmental fragility.
Carl Yurdin’s long sleek
walnut bench reflects his 40-year background as an industrial designer. His
style can best be described as the “geometry of wood.” Wendy Dunder, well known for her
organic sculptural illuminations created from wood and paper, has created two new
wall and table pieces, Carolina and With a Twist. Chris Thompson’s whimsical functional
furniture pieces are for humans and some for birds! The textiles as wearable art from both Mary
Jaeger and David reflect their backgrounds in the Asian textile
traditions of shibori and batik, both using natural indigo dyes to create
contemporary American fashions.
