Form + Function 3
Holiday Show and Sale
December 6th - 8th, 2002
Funds raised through the sale provide operating and educational outreach funds for OCCCA.

Huether’s portion of the exhibit, titled In Nature’s Light will partner salvaged materials with imagery and objects from nature, their appearance manipulated through the use of light, shadow, and water. The series will include installation work ranging from a cactus garden of radiator cores to a suspended forest of neon. Other freestanding sculpture and wall pieces will utilize obscured objects from nature and projected patterns of water and light.

Grau-Twena will be exhibiting paintings from two new series. The first series, Beyond the Veil, explores going deeper into one’s self, away from things (more) comfortable and pleasing to places real and vulnerable. It’s About Power utilizes the Palm Springs windmills, as a metaphor to show man’s mindless dependence on that which we don’t understand.

Cubbage’s paintings use pattern and language as a measurement of his own memory and personal history.
