UTAH COUNTY
Covey Center for the Arts UP: Fairreality: A Look at Life through Multicolored Glasses, Artwork by Sabrina Squires.|1| "Many ancient civilizations mastered the concept of representing their lives two-dimensionally, as evidenced in their paintings and relief sculptures. While recognizably capturing the goings-on of their societies, they remained in a singular dimension. Flatness allows the viewer to focus on the formal elements of painting, such as man-made lines, texture, and color. Each of my works begins with a layer of National Geographic pages sanded with a brillo pad. The sanded paper provides rich textural depth amidst ink drawings and paint. Building layers of drawing and color creates a synergic volume for the viewer to enjoy." Through December 29. AND: Designing Nature's Creations, Artwork by Marilyn Sunderland.|2| "About 4 years ago, when I purchased my ultra high speed engraving/carving tool, it changed my life. I love the relief effects I get when carving on gourds and being able to use other mediums to enhance each piece, makes it even better. The gourd has become my canvas to create my art." Through February 2.
