WELLESLEY COLLEGE
thursday, jan 27-feb 21.
Trigger and Reconfigure. 4:45pm. Jewett Art Gallery.
A work of art begins with an encounter between an object or image and the
artist. The found form, not necessarily interesting or beautiful to others, is so
compelling to the artist that it must be engaged with, seized. Intuitively the
artist understands the possibilities this form offers for reinvention. The making
of art is a dialogue-grappling, coaxing, and nudging of form until a new light or
life emerges. For more information at the arts at Wellesley College, visit
http://issuu.com/wellesley/docs/artscalendarsp11. On display from 1/22-
2/21.
OFF CAMPUS
