Scanning Japan
Feb. 20 - May 2, 2009
These four artists - Sofie Siegmann, Whitney Vosburgh, Irene Imfeld, and John Watson - were part of an artist exchange between the bay area and Japan. The artists
traveled to Japan to learn about the culture and made work about their travels and response to Japan. There was also work made by Japanese artists about their
response to the bay area. Three of these artists work with photographs and one with paint and mixed media in depicting their responses to the cultural experiences
of Japan.

Work by Anders Knutsson
July 24-October 10, 2009
About this collection of paintings the artist says, “the image of the tree is accessible to all people – it is the universal, common to all races and cultures. The image
of the tree consistently gives the same message: strength, endurance, power and a sense of majesty. Each image is of a “champion” tree – a tree that is the most magnificent
of its species. Lastly, each tree has its own fascinating story; a unique relationship to human ideas and aspirations.”
Charleston Heights Art Center
Weightless
Cathy Breslaw
March 20 - May 14, 2009
Cathy Breslaw’s work is a fusion of painting, weaving and sculpture. She experiments with dissimilar manufactured materials, manipulating
them in unfamiliar and interesting combinations. Breslaw’s work asserts the delicate and elusive visual nature of the materials. Issues of feminism,
beauty and cross cultural boundaries form some of its undercurrents.
