Gloria utilizes common material to create temporary site-specific installations that seek to heighten our awareness of the world within and around us. Her art enables us to give form to the process of bringing the outside in and the inside out. This exchange strengthens our connections to each other, the world, and ourselves. |

Sunday at Two Lecture:
Nature Cycles: Jonathan Beaver's Optical Red
SUNDAY
March 16, 2008
2:00 - 3:00pm
|
| Jonathan’s installation illustrates that our experience of the surrounding ‘natural’ world is in fact mediated by the bodies that are intimately bound to it. The light that surrounds us, that bounces off the leaves and particles of the atmosphere is the same light that stimulates the rods and cones of our eyes.

Nature Cycles: JD Perkin and Anne Thompson's Ghost Trailer
SUNDAY
May 18, 2008
2:00 - 3:00pm
|
| “Besides providing what we feel are attractive sculptural lines, this retro form suggests an abandoned shelter from fifty years past. We use the travel trailer as a metaphor for the human desire to be in nature, while satisfying the need for comfort and defined space.”
