Playing Favorites: Colin Haines & Judith Schaechter

A group of faces, masks, and busts of people. This stained glass work is like a piece-made quilt, with several individual elements joined together with thick, black seams. Each face has a different color, expression, hair style, and angle. Several faces look distorted, and the most noticeable aspect is the variety of bright colors used throughout.

Looking in the FWMoA Glass Wing, we see the most recent subject of Playing Favorites! Read along to learn how college intern Colin Haines feels about the artwork, Rejects.

Now on View: Paper Made Techniques

Brightly colored concentric circles. Different textures accompany the light blue, green, tan, and yellow bands of color. There are sections of woven paper that looks like thread. Other areas show repeated paper materials aligned next to each other in circles. There is a cross section taken out of the lower left corner of the circles. The circles are imperfect, imitating concentric circles found in the cross section of a tree.

Now on View, we see the technically detailed works of paper artists! Curator of Exhibitions, Brit Micho, shows us two works featured in a current exhibit, Paper Made II.
