I am very pleased to have thee pieces accepted into the national juried show Elements at the Marin Society of Artist, which runs from January 10th through February 2nd. 2019
Please join me at the opening reception on Friday January 11th from 4:00 - 8:00 pm.
“Everything we experience as matter is made up of Elements, substances consisting of a single type of atom. We invite artists to submit work based on one, some, or all of the 118 Elements of the Periodic Table.
From alchemy to particle physics to wacky whimsy, interpretation of the theme is wide open - an Element's mystique, mythology, discovery, uses throughout history, use in art, the magical areas between the particles of the atoms, philosophical or mystical flights of fancy – whatever brings it to life for you.
Many Elements are well known old friends – gold, iron, oxygen, and sodium to name a few. Some are less familiar, such as krypton, promethium, technetium, californium, and neptunium. The United Nations has proclaimed 2019 to be the International Year of the Periodic Table of the Chemical Elements.”
