UNIQUE WORKS IN WOOD
by
Burt Albert, Series Developer,
"Tuesdays with the Muse"
He also helped build a distinguished, Potomac River homestead adjacent to George Washington's Mount Vernon. And recently, while showing his unique baby rattles to the Freehand Gallery in California, two were sold on the spot to a famous Hollywood star. Klein is most interested in working with combinations of materials: wood, paper, steel ribbon, plexiglass, wire and the like. Parts of her large works are often highly finished while others are left "rough to show the marks of a nature’s wear or the burrowing of insects." Her selection of woods range from white birch, grey birch and lodgepole pine to Virginia redbud, ponderosa, poplar and willow. An associate professor of English and Interdisciplinary Humanities at Brandeis, Klein has been in several juried and invitational exhibitions and has had six solo shows. Her "Zokel" assemblages "have haiku poems scurrying over elegant, gestural black strokes of ink," one critic wrote, "which burst into three dimensionality that riddles and evokes, rather than hammers home." These pieces and others will also be part of the Tuesday evening exhibition. Morehouse is a graduate of Pratt Institute. His works in exotic woods, bronze and mixed media, have a "softness and sensuousness of form that impel the viewer to reach out and touch." A number of his pieces are beautifully graceful and powerful flukes of whales sculpted from Honduras mahogany and mounted on slabs of polished granite. In numerous private collections, Morehouse's works reflect a growing awareness of life in and around the seashore. "I strive," he says, " to encourage an earnest responsibility for the stewardship of our planet." The Tuesday program begins at 7 in the Cape Museum of Fine Arts on the campus of the Cape Playhouse Center for the Arts, Route 6A, Dennis Village. Admission is $6.50 for members with a CMFA Art Discovery Card. Regular admission is $10 for members, $12 for others. Celebrating its 20th year and soon to be opening its $1.5 million addition, the CMFA was recently hailed "a star museum" by The New York Times. Its charter is to "collect, conserve, study, interpret and exhibit works primarily by the outstanding artists associated with Cape Cod and the Islands." For information or to purchase an Art Discovery Card, call 385-4477, Ext 16. |
