In the Morin Gallery:New Work by Laura Edwards WootenOpening Reception, Thursday, September 9th at 6:30pmExhibit Dates: September 9 - October 31, 2010

In this exhibit curated by Pam Black & Theo vanGroll of the UVA School ofArchitecture, Charlottesville artist, Laura Edwards Wooten explores anintimate interior world through landscapes both invented and observed,in oil, acrylic and mixed media collage. Her Momentum Series presents apersonal narrative as told through an iconography of invented landscapeelements. Mountains, oceans and clouds conspire with small boats, windingpaths and garden gates to act out the story of creative struggle. Her ApolloRoad Series explores a landscape of creative sanctuary. Generated fromboth memory and observation, shifting perspectives of broad vistas, bird’seye maps, and diminutive vignettes are utilized to recreate the spirit ofplace as experienced by the artist. These overlapping bodies of work revealdifferent parts of the same journey, navigating between solitude andcommunity, surrender and ambition, safety and risk: a meditation on thestruggle to maintain creative momentum, and the joy that unexpectedlyreveals itself along the way.

The Arts Center In Orange is open Monday - Saturday, 10 - 5 (subject to volunteer availability).
