and aesthetic components - juried by Mary O'Connell.
The juried group exhibition features 37 works by 33
artist from 14 US states, including from India. In her
juror's statement Mary O'Connell reflects: "The pieces
chosen for the Earth and Fire exhibition express
fundamental humanity and qualities we share in our
lives together. They also reflect the landscape, the
environment we live in and shapes and forms found in
nature." The exhibition opens on May 20th
with an artist reception from 6 - 9 p.m. at Woman
Made Gallery.
"Loss of Identity", ceramic by by Anindita Dutta,

Journey to Now - Solo Show by Corinne Peterson
Concurrent with the Earth and Fire Group Show is a
solo exhibition with sculptural works by Chicago
artist, Corinne D. Peterson.
Ms. Peterson comments: "The exhibit presents
contrasting spaces. When visitors enter the room,
they see narrative sculptures referring to particular
personal experiences of division or healing. I want
viewers to be aware of a shift from the personal to
the universal as they move into the back of the
room."
"The main impetus for "Journey to Now" is the
problem of division and the struggle for healing. It is
crucial today in our country and our world to find
ways to heal our divisions."
