Mixed Media Exhibition August 7 - August 13, 2011 Transformation is an exhibition of work that brings together artists compelled to uncover, excavate and enrich the surfaces of found objects. These practices point to an interest in creating alluring surfaces that draw viewers to consider ordinary and unconventional materials in new ways. Using the vocabulary of reclaimed materials, surface treatment and form as a metaphor for the lived experience, these works encourage us to consider objects beyond what they initially seem and to focus on their possibilities. Curated by Continuing Studies instructor Jeanne Krabbendam, the works in this exhibition were created by artists enrolled in two courses: CEPN 165 The Built Surface and CEPN 265 Exploring the Built Surface.
