Keren Lowell, "Subcutaneous" November 5 - December 1
Opening reception Nov 5th, 5 to 7 pm, Artist talk at 6pm.
 Subcutaneous: being, living, used or made under the skin.
"I use the idea of 'skin' as a metaphor to talk about boundaries between inside and outside, or the zones where they meet. We inhabit our own skin - the thin membrane that protects our physical self from the rest of the world. A wall is another kind of boundary, and so is the surface of the earth.
When I walk in the woods with my dogs somewhere between the city and the wilderness, I notice things that emerge from the ground where many feet have worn a path - tree roots, rocks, grass pushing through hard-packed earth. I see places where water and earth meet, and water leaves evidence of its presence - potholes, ripples in the sand.
In this installation, I'm investigating the mutable boundaries of surfaces - those of the earth and the body, its skin and cellular structures, even the gallery walls. I feel separate and sometimes isolated from others, the planet, even my own biology, yet these skins reveal how porous these boundaries really are." -- Keren Lowell |

Jazzline, a smashing success! supporting Artist in Schools and the energies and talents of Homer dancers.
 Likely as not, you were there at the Mariner Theater for a spectacular show of dance and movement and know what a wonderful time was had by all, performers and audience alike. It is a marvelous show that can entertain an audience of toddlers, teenagers, adults, women, men, girls and boys... and Jazzline, choreographed by artistic director Jocelyn Shiro-Westphal did just that. Wow what a night! The event raised funds to match Alaska State Council on the Arts grants to support the Artist in Schools program and will continue inspiring the community throughout the school year.
Thank you Jocelyn, for your tremendous generosity, energy and committment to youth art education. And Thank you dancers and stage crew for your incredible performance, Pat and Janet McNary for stage managing, parents and volunteers who ushered and helped backstage. Thank you Wendell of Latitude 59 and Ann-Margret Wimmerstedt for feeding a hungry cast and crew, the Homer Bookstore for selling tickets, Homer Council on the Arts for use of the Marley Floor, and Lynne and Kathleen of the Mariner Theater for helping us pull off a great evening. It was a wonderful, wonderful night enjoyed by all! |
