This
piece was
exhibited in the inaugaral Art Loop Open of 2010 in the Michigan Ave.
windows of the Hard Rock Hotel. It then moved on to the Elmhurst Art
Museum's Chicago Sculpture International show of 7 CSI members from
November 19th 2010 to March 19th 2011.
Elmhurst Art Museum welcomes Chicago Sculpture International artists
Sharon Bladholm, Suzanne Cohan-Lange, Sherry Giryotas, Corinne D.
Peterson, Phillip Shore, Sam Spiczka, and Vivian Visser to the
Hostetler Gallery.
The works selected for exhibition embody natural and organic forms,
both by design and material. Each piece creates a visual
relationship between humans and environment; Bladholm's Intelligent
Heart employs small branches as veins and capillaries and Spicka's
Nighthawk, where wooden bones transform into an animal form.
Some works are anthropomorphic, others suggest our presence in the
natural environment, and each represents the skilled mastering of
concept, material, and composition.
