Artist’s reception Saturday October 3, Noon – 5:00 PM.
The show begins with some fairly straightforward watercolor examples of colorful containers, interpreted on rice paper. Then it morphs into photography with more bright and shapely containers, this time interpreted to bring out interesting features. What is held in containers? Sometimes water. Now comes a wall of water. Here are delightful little macros of dancing and fanciful fluids. Finally there is a wall of just plain fun with abstract images that cover the rainbow of colors and challenge the imagination. Alice Steele’s work is truly a Color Carnival.
Gabriele Schroeder uses metal, wooden, bone, crystal, ceramic and hand-blown glass beads to create jewelry that rejoices in and celebrates women’s power and beauty. Her jewelry reminds all who wear it of their innate self-worth and beauty and their interdependence with the living spirit that pulses through all life on earth and sets us humans free to love and act graciously.
The show will be at the AWE Gallery the entire month of October (hours: Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 noon – 5:00 PM and by appointment. 415-731-6470)
