mixed media works by

Kate Duffy
Aimee Joyaux

After the show opened last month we decided to create a collaborative round robin... each of us began a new work and it was passed from studio to studio until all five of us participated in the process. I am looking forward to seeing the end result this evening and will post the results shortly.

To see the exhibition Lost and Found please visit:

Sol Cooper Gallery

Please Note - the webmaster here felt that WACK exhibition at the Women's Museum in Washington DC was very disappointing. It was expensive, offered minimal discounts and a condensed version of the LA exhibition. The catalogue offered a much richer variety of work than the D.C. version of the show.

Su-Mei Tse
Lecture: March 27
(time, location TBA)

Metaphors of futility and longing mark Su-Mei Tse's (b.1973) art works with a young romantic sensibility. This Luxembourg-based artist has produced an eclectic body of work (violin, installation, photography, and sculpture) much of which relies on performance. Initially trained as a classical cellist, Tse still has a fondness for playing and strives to sensitize the audience to the complexities of sound.
