Kathleen Elliot’s exquisite sculptures of flameworked glass take traditional botanical forms to new imaginary heights. For her new show at the Pensacola Museum of Art, Elliot is exhibiting a selection of pieces that represent major developments of her recent work. Leaves, flowers, fruit and vines take on surprising and unique characteristics that convey an alternate sense of reality.

Summer Art Camps

E X PA N D I N G T H E I M A G I N AT I O N

HE IMAGINATION IS

a terrible thing to waste. A childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagination is an essential part of growing up. Exercises in exploring the imagination help children develop flexible perspectives, which allow them to think beyond boundaries, explore possibilities, ask questions and better understand the world. Summer arts camps encourage children to expand and communicate their imagination and are specifically geared towards creating a safe, supportive environment, where they can artistically grow.

MUSE

Summer art camps are growing in popularity because of the positive experience the children are having. It is no secret that art museums and art centers have become quite masterful at developing fun and clever ways to inspire kids to be creative. And it is, therefore, not surprising that summer art camp programs are becoming more successful each year. Ken Hannon, Director of Communications for Dunedin Fine Art Center (www.dfac.org), feels the camps are growing in popularity because of the positive experience the children are having. “Studies show that children who study art, end up doing better in ALL of their studies,” says Hannon, “so that makes our programs pretty popular with parents too!” These programs are designed to expose students to a broad range of ideas and art-making experiences through a virtually endless array of media and theme-based classes. From drawing, painting and collage to sculpture, photography and printmaking, summer art camps offer something for every budding artist. As summer swiftly approaches, we encourage you to take a few moments to check out local museums and art centers for exciting art camp experiences for your “mini master(s),” and realize the possibilities.

Revisiting Eden

KATHLEEN ELLIOT’S EXQUISITE SCULPTURES of flameworked glass take traditional botanical forms to new imaginary heights. Leaves, flowers, fruit and vines take on surprising and unique characteristics that convey an alternate sense of reality. “The undercurrent of my work is the shifting nature of ‘reality’,” Elliot explains. “I’m curious. I like to be curious. I like to venture into new understandings, interpretations, and experiences. Encountering new worlds, new realities, brings a sense of scared excitement—and I like that.” For her show at the Pensacola Museum of Art, Elliot is exhibiting a selection of pieces that represent major developments of her recent work—some of which remain close to their natural origins, while others venture deep into the realm of imagina-

Revisiting Eden tion. “The work in this exhibition reaches back to childhood memories, delves into my emotional experiences, travels out to realities I imagine, and has a pinch of political statement sprinkled in.” Natural forms appear in unexpected colors and fantastic combinations. Through this process, the vocabulary of observed botany becomes a vehicle for personal expression. Recently, Elliot has begun to incorporate human characteristics, reflecting the artist’s inner life through an organic vocabulary. One can’t help but be struck by the visual richness and detail of her work, the sense of invention and the high degree

of craft. Each of Elliot’s pieces may begin either with a general concept or with a fully-formed idea, triggered by something in the world: a conversation, a pattern of shadows, or a color combination. At times, an initial idea yields to a completely new direction. The sculptures are made by flameworking, treating glass directly with the flame of a torch. This technique allows the artist to create threedimensional forms, add color and texture, and then assemble complex structures. “Creating a sculpture is a painstaking, meditative process, often requiring many technical adjustments,” says Elliot.

Revisiting Eden “A piece may take weeks or months to finish.” Each imaginary botanical has its own story and its own meaning. Works in this series explore a wide range of subjects from female sexuality, to dancers and infants, to the idea of botanical life in alternate realities. Personal growth and development are continuing themes, and a number of pieces have arisen from imagining the emotional phenomena in our lives, in botanical imagery. Elliot was born in Akron, OH, in 1958, but has lived

in the Bay Area in California since childhood. As a girl, she enjoyed all manner of arts and crafts—and even taught herself to knit and crochet. She went on to study cosmetology and earned her degree from San Jose City College. After taking adult education programs, Elliot designed management tools for a semi-conductor company in Silicon Valley. Her life changed in 1991 when a friend invited her to try glasswork in his garage. Elliot took to working with glass immediately.

Revisiting Eden She bought herself the basic equipment—a torch, a kiln and a sampler of glass—and began teaching herself how to make glass beads. This introduction to flamework would become the basis for her future sculptural projects. Elliot took her first glassblowing workshop in 1996, studied art at De Anza College and attended the Pilchuck Glass School for three summers. There she studied with leading glass artists, Laura Donefer, Robert Mickelsen and Shane Fero. In 2003, Elliot began making botanical sculptures, drawing upon plant forms she observed in nature. “These arose from a great love of plants, their lifecycles, the beauty of all of their parts— leaves, seed pods, flowers, bark, etc.—and the spiritual connection I feel when in nature,” Elliot explains. Four years later, she began an ongoing series of imaginary botanicals that use natural forms, but invent new species, including human/plant hybrids.

Ursula von Rydingsvard: Sculpture, at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum in Miami, includes a selection of the artist’s most significant sculptures, including wall reliefs and massive cedar works created from 1991 to 2009. Built slowly and incrementally from thousands of cedar beams, each work reveals the mark of the artist’s hand, her respect for physical labor and her deep trust of intuitive process. Though she sometimes adds bronze, resins or other materials to the equation, wood is her primary material. Von Rydingsvard regards her connection to wood as part of her history. She comes from a long line of Polish peasant farmers for whom wood provided basic shelter and tools to work the land. Her forms

typically suggest domestic objects such as spoons, plates and bowls; shovels, axes and other farm tools; women’s bonnets and lace collars; and vernacular architecture, including barns, barracks and fences. Her work also evokes great natural forms, from a craggy cliff side to a deep canyon, and phenomena such as the forces of wind and water or the formation of the earth’s strata.

Von Rydingsvard’s sculptures are simultaneously primitive and elegant, lyrical and ominous. Her most characteristic form is the bowl, which may appear as a shallow or towering form, and may alternately evoke nourishment, domesticity, the body, a simple enclosure or a mountain, among other references. The exhibition includes the five undulating bowls that make

up Krasawica II (1998-2001), Ukrainian for “beautiful young woman,” whose overall shape conveys a fluid sense of movement and vitality, despite its substantial, weighty volume; Ocean Floor (1996), a large, low basin, ringed with bulbous, stuffed intestinal forms; a pair of huge, wall-mounted Weeping Plates (2005); and the enormous, horizontal torqued shape of Droga, or OnV

able sophistication and grace. Von Rydingsvard builds her sculpture from the ground up— block by block, cut by cut. She begins with an image she envisions in her mind, then scratches chalk markings on the floor,

indicating where pieces will be assembled. She then lays down cedar beams and decides how big each piece should be. Curved lines are sketched onto the wood in pencil and the beams are cut with a circular

saw to the desired geometric and/or organic curves. Hacking irregularly gives the edges visual interest. At this stage, the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio is filled with the sounds of saws and the impact of wood landing on the

floor, after being lobbed. To maintain proper order, each piece of wood is given a code number and von Rydingsvard stacks the pieces of wood in layers. The positioning is crucial from the outset. “The bottom is important,” she points out. “Some of the pieces will dramatically move away from each other. That initiates the mood of the piece.”  The cutting, stacking, marking, lifting, kneeling, bending and carrying goes on for days, weeks or months, depending on the size and complexity of the piece. “This part, the cutting and the building,” von Rydingsvard says, “is the glory of my life, because this is where all the decisions get made.” After a sculpture is entirely cut, shaped and coded, the pieces are clamped and glued together, one layer at a time. When the work is reassembled, von Rydingsvard rubs the red surface of the cedar with a grayish-black graphite. She then sprays the work with an alcohol-based adhesive before brushing on powdered graphite. The piece is finally scrubbed with a steel scouring pad to remove excess powder and to push some of the

I N S P I R E D B Y O N E A N O T H E R , husband and wife artists, Jerry Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor, share a passion for composing hauntingly beautiful and surreal dreamscapes portraying strange and enigmatic situations. But despite any similarity regarding subject matter and theme, their work is entirely distinct from each other—each masterfully employs a completely different process to realize their vision. Using traditional photographic techniques, Uelsmann’s images are built up over time in the darkroom where he uses enlargers and the systematic layering of negatives to produce seamless, black and white prints—without the aid of digital technology. On the other hand, Taylor is a pioneer in the world of digitally created art. With the aid of Photoshop and a scanner, she takes digital snapshots of found images which she then composes into digital collages. The resulting compositions are rich in color and possess a painterly quality. The couple first met in 1985 when Taylor was a graduate student at the University of Florida. They have been together over 25 years, and while they do not work collaboratively, they are the first audience for each other’s work. This exhibition explores the two photographers’ work with large and small format images by Taylor and photographs by Uelsmann from the 1960s to the present.

Jerry Uelsmann was born in Detroit in 1934. He studied photography at Rochester Institute and Indiana University and was deeply influenced by his instructors, Ralph Hattersley, Minor White and especially, Henry Holmes Smith, who introduced Uelsmann to the concept that photography can be used as a vehicle for self-expression. In 1960, Uelsmann began teaching at the University of Florida and in 1974, was awarded a graduate research professorship. While he is now retired from teaching, he is still actively producing art.

photo manipulation, Uelsmann finds his source material in many locations and through his travels. He uses a series of up to eight enlargers in his darkroom to “build” his photographs and adds the individual component images from each negative to his photographs by making a timed exposure at each enlarger. After images from all the negatives have been exposed onto the photographic paper, it is stopped, fixed and rinsed in wash basins. Over the last 50 years Uelsmann’s work has been exhibited in nearly 150 solo exhibitions in the US and internationally. His photographs are also held in the permanent collections of virtually every major museum worldwide.

Maggie Taylor was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1961. In 1983, she graduated Cum Laude from Yale University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy and shortly thereafter began graduate studies at the University of Florida in Gainesville. In 1987 she received her MFA degree and in 1989 married Jerry Uelsmann. In 1995, when a representative from Adobe approached Uelsmann to create a poster for the company using Photoshop, Taylor offered her assistance. She read the Photoshop manual and became intrigued with the entire process. Uelsmann created the photograph for the poster and returned to his work in the darkroom while Taylor continued to experiment with the computer and Photoshop software. By 1998, she was using the computer exclusively to create her images. Above: Maggie Taylor, Sketchy characters, 2009, pigmented inkjet print, 15 x 15”

Taylor collects 19th Century tintype portraits, which she finds in antique stores, at flea markets and on the internet. She captures the figures in the original portraits using a flatbed scanner. Additional acquired and photographed images are scanned and combined with the portraits using her computer and the Adobe Photoshop program. Typically, Taylor works with 40 to 60 image layers. She imports images, configures, filters and otherwise manipulates them before integrating them into a single image, which she prints on a state-of-the-art Epson inkjet printer. Taylor’s work has been exhibited throughout the US and internationally.

CARRIE ANN BAADE’S NEW EXHIBITION,

Solar Midnight, at MOCA Jacksonville, is a survey of her past three years of work. Through myths

and monsters, Baade has explored the complexity of the human condition within her autobiographical

oil paintings, rich with allegorical meta-narratives inspired by literature and art history. Combining

fragments of Renaissance and Baroque religious

paintings, these parables have culminated in a myr-

iad of surreal landscapes inhabited by exotic flora,

fauna and figures. Dubbed “Imaginative Realism,” her works present an entirely original vision, where cultures and time periods converge.

“ My subjects are adopted from religion and mythology—these are often cautionary tales that mirror my

personal experience,” says Baade. “In desiring to

speak to the complexity of the human condition, I use this language of allegory and narrative to relate my own story.”

Born in Natchitoches, Louisiana, Baade’s earliest and fondest recollections are of living in New Orleans. But when her family later relocated to a rural and arid region of Colorado, with no children within walking distance of her house, Baade found new ways to entertain herself by playing with branches and the bones from dead horses. She also practiced drawing and painting, using art books as inspiration. As Baade grew older, she saved up her money and traveled the world, exploring art museums and learning about ancient civilizations. After returning from her travels, Baade spent years searching for new direction in her painting. Through sheer frustration, she began tearing apart her library of art books, cutting out characters from paintings to collage onto different paintings, transforming them into her own new creations. Collage has consistently remained a critical element in her process ever since. “The ideas for my work may start in the fanciful and idealized world of the mind,

For Clyde Butcher, there is a feeling of would be good. being able to see clear into eternity. Choosing which negative to print was the most This picture was taken along the edge of difficult part. Clyde finally selected this one because Tamiami Trail.

he became more educated about Florida’s environment. When Clyde first began photographing Florida, he loved the beauty he saw, but was ignorant of its environmental stresses. The “grass” in the foreground of Ochopee actually consists of blades of cattails, which only grow in dirty water. The ecosystem of the Everglades is based on a nutrient poor environment. Historically, cattails are found in small amounts throughout the Everglades. The environmental purpose of cattails is to clean the waste located in those areas. Massive

it is beautiful, like the “grass” in Ochopee—but that doesn’t make it right. This photograph has provided an opportunity to educate people about Florida. As Clyde said to Carol Browner, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, when she received the Ochopee photograph as a gift, “Remember when you look at this picture that your job is to make sure dirty water no longer contaminates Florida, creating miles and miles of cattails.” The Ochopee negative is one of Clyde’s most difficult negatives to print. Without extensive dark-

growth of cattails indicates that the water quality has been diminished. A healthy balance of swamp water and grassy vegetation should be dominated by sawgrass, not cattails! If the water remains polluted, cattails continue to multiply, rapidly creating a dense mass of vegetation; fish become unable to survive; birds lose a critical food source; and the Everglades eventually die. When Clyde realized that one of his favorite pictures depicted environmental damage, he considered taking it off the market, but after careful consideration, he opted to keep the image. Clyde decided it was important to understand that environmental damage doesn’t always look bad—often

room work, the picture would lack the drama that is visible in the finished piece of art. Clyde made nine separate exposures to create the image. The basic exposure includes a 40 magenta filter that adds contrast to the print. Then he made two burns from the white part of the grass up through the sky. Next he removed the 40 magenta filter and, using a mask on the cabbage palms and foreground, he burned the sky three more times. He then changed to a 40 yellow filter and burned in the hot spot in the cloud three times. Next he burned in the foreground water one more time. To complete the exposure of one 40 x 60” print, it takes approximately 11 minutes. That is all there is to it!

Ghost Orchid (POLYRRHIZA LINDENNI) When Mike Owen, the biologist of the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, offered to take Clyde Butcher out to see the elusive and rare Ghost Orchid, he jumped at the chance! Clyde describes the experience... GHOST ORCHID #2

“The air was thick with the humidity of early morning mist when Mike Owen and I made our way through the swamp in the dim tree-filtered light of an August morning. Mike had called a few days before to invite me out to photograph a Ghost Orchid that he thought would soon be blooming. It was my first opportunity to see a Ghost Orchid and so, waist deep in swamp water, with mosquitoes eagerly consuming Clyde Butcher, Tamiami Trail 2, 1990, silver gelatin my flesh for their fiber morning breakfast, I anxprint, 36 x 46”, collection of the artist iously hoped the orchid would be in bloom.

Very few people have ever seen the Ghost Orchid, and so, mosquitoes not withstanding, I felt very honored to be following Mike through the swamps in search of one of the most rare native orchids in Florida. The majority of the Ghost Orchids are found in the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve and in Big Cypress Preserve. They are so rare that most of them have been located by GPS so that the Preserve can keep track of their health. There are approximately 150 or so plants left, with only 10% or less blooming. The orchid is pollinated by the large Sphinx Moth. Unfortunately, the moth is disappearing, leaving the Ghost Orchid with an uncertain future. Because of its rarity, the Ghost Orchid has often been the prey to theft. However, no matter the level of ‘orchid knowledge’ that is possessed by the thief, no one has ever managed to keep the Ghost Orchid alive outside of it’s own personal habitat. As we trekked deeper into the swamp, we came upon a tree with vine-like roots running around the trunk of the tree. Extending out from those roots, and defying the complexity of the surrounding ecosystem, was a beautiful, simple, white orchid. The Ghost Orchid has no leaves. All of the photosynthesis takes place in the roots, so when there is no bloom, the plant is close to impossible to find. It took quite a while before I felt like the breeze and the orchid had calmed down enough for me to take a picture. Even then, I wondered if I had actually gotten the photograph. I didn’t know until I developed the film. Fortunately, the negative was good, and I had my picture of the Ghost Orchid!” Left to right: Mike Owen, Clyde, Oscar Thompson & Jeff Ripple

Cayo Costa BARRIER ISLAND ON THE GULF COAST Cayo Costa, north of Sanibel Island, is one of Clyde Butcher’s favorite places in Florida. He has been there many times and chose late June to photograph the island, when the angle of the sun is from its most northern direction, providing great light. “This photograph was taken on the southern end of the island. The southern point, with all its sunbleached driftwood along the beach, has wonderful possibilities for black and white photography. I had taken my 5 x 7 view camera with me because I wasn’t feeling safe about taking the 8 x 10 view camera out into the ocean in our small sailboat. Later, as I became more accustomed to using the 8 x 10, I took it out in the boat as often as I could. Now, I even take my 12 x 20 view camera out in the boat—it’s so big we could use it as a flotation device if anything happened to the boat! For a safer harbor, Niki and I spent our nights anchored on the north end of Cayo Costa. To time our arrival at the southern end of the island, in order to get the proper lighting for the photograph,

we had to pull anchor and set sail at dawn. We had quite a time anchoring our boat in this area since the current between North Captiva Island and Cayo Costa Island is very strong. We had put the stern anchor out in the Gulf and the bow anchor up on shore, but no matter what we did, the boat sat side-on to the shore, flopping back and forth with the wave action. Getting my camera gear out of the boat and walking ashore was pretty tricky. For this picture, I needed a sky with absolutely no clouds. I used a red filter to enhance the white driftwood against the dark sky. If clouds had been in the picture they would have detracted from the driftwood. To achieve the picture I had in mind, we needed strong morning light, with the sun still low in the sky and no cloud build up over land to block out the sunlight. It took a few mornings, but I finally got the shot I wanted. Everything was perfect. This is one of the few negatives I have that is a straight printer—no darkroom work needed!” —C. Butcher O n V iew

Since moving to Florida 15 years ago, she has become known for her brilliant tropical landscapes. “The inspiration for my art has always come from the world around me, landscape being the primary focus of my work now,” says Davis. “I have recently become aware of trying to create a window into nature, bringing the outside in… By working on a large scale, I believe it becomes easier for the viewer to visually move inside my paintings, being transported to that space, perceiving the image not through thought but through feeling.” Throughout her 30-year career, Davis has continued to present a unique perspective through her work. By using her inherent talent as an artist, she focuses on bringing out the beauty and tranquility of a specific scene. “My philosophy on art and life is the same,” she explains. “Do something you are passionate about, and create joy and peace for yourself and those around you.

tween the viewer and Misako Inaoka’s artwork is one of discovery. One can expect to find a menagerie of bizarre combinations of animals and machines. Her hybrid creations, which often move and make sounds, compel the observer to get as close as possible, to delight in these invented creatures and landscapes of Inaoka’s imagination. Here the viewer’s presence brings art to life, literally. Misako Inaoka is known for her kinetic sculpture and sitespecific installations. For her exhibition at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, Inaoka has created a series of life-sized and miniature works as well as a new kinetic installation inside of artificial wood knot holes. The artist’s desire to carefully construct environments that evoke wilderness, yet are grounded in technology, comes from a longstanding interest in the boundary between what we call “natural” and “artificial.” As Inaoka has stated, “To arouse notions of existence and coexistence, I construct envi-

Paul Jacoulet spent most of his life in Japan after his parents moved the family there from France in 1906, when he was just four years old. His father taught French at the Imperial University of Tokyo. Jacoulet displayed artistic talent early on and began painting at the age of eleven. He subsequently studied under Seiki Kuroda. Jacoulet also spoke fluent Japanese, French and English in addition to having mastered the violin and the Japanese samisen, a traditional three-stringed lute. In the early 1920s, Jacoulet was forced to resign from a position with the French embassy in Tokyo, due to frail health,
