The Artists' Alliance Scupltor by Jan Elmore Opening August 12, 5-9 9p 100 Taylor St, Suite 101 Colonial Beach Gallery open Sat-S Sun, 11a -5 5p Jan's wall mounted sculptures are amazing. She describes her artistic essence this way: "The sculptures in this exhibit explore flow from the aspects of literal flow, as in the grain in wood or leather, to creating the suggestion of flow with shapes, textures, and colors. The work is the result of my personal "flow state" Her mixed media, wall-mounted sculptures are composed of native hardwood species and textured metals mounted on painted canvases and panels, and may also incorporate exotic woods, hand-painted papers, leather, fibers, and stucco. Reflecting the importance of sustainability and economy, many components are "scraps" retrieved from other makers. .~ Rob Rudick
