Sand Lake Center for the Arts - Circle Theatre Players


July 1 - August 15 Ellen Kostroff In mid-summer, we will be witness to a unique visual world comprised of the stunning surreal photographs of Ellen Kostroff. Both manipulated landscapes and manipulated object focused reality will on view. As Ellen notes, "To inhabit the world of the extraordinary, for just a moment, to realize a place of infinite faith, a vision once thwarted now released, made visible to the world. When the mind sees farther than the eyes, it is an imperative to find the path, though twisted and broken, to the revelation. This is my art, this is my world." Reception: Sunday, July 18 from 1 - 3pm

August 16 - September 30 Pat Smart Pat returns to the SLCA gallery with new examples of her beautiful batik prints. Batik is an ancient Indonesian method of dying cloth using hot wax and successive dye baths. Rayon or cotton cloth is chosen; hot wax is applied to areas of the cloth that are to remain undyed, and the cloth is then dyed following the design of the artist. Successive dying achieves the particular color saturation and tonality desired. The process is, as Pat notes, "labor intensive but offers exciting results." Reception: Sunday, August 22 from 1 - 3pm
