"Kindred Spirits" at Clark University

Postcard from the show

On Wednesday night I went to the opening of the exhibition Kindred Spirits at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. This was a show of works in encaustic by 10 artists that was curated by Toby Sisson, Assistant Professor of Studio Art in the Department of Visual and Performing Art at Clark. Student interns, under Toby's supervision, installed the work and would have received an A+ from me for their layout and placement of the work. There was a lovely sense of spaciousness on the walls and resonance between works. I took a lot of pictures of the exhibition with my iPhone 4. The mushiness of the photos make me wish that I had the higher megapixel count of the newest iPhone. I know that there will be more posting of images (hopefully with a better camera) because many people were taking photos. These images are just to pique your interest and urge you to see the show in person since it's up until December 12th.
