"eXplorations:Taking the X Out of Anxiety and Other Stories" Constructions and paintings by Paula Gray

Presented by Mendocino College Art Gallery at Mendocino College

Mendocino College Art Gallery proudly presents: eXplorations: Taking the X out of Anxiety and other stories with constructions and paintings by Paula Gray.

The Exhibit opens with reception for the artist on February 9th from 4-6pm.

Paula Gray has taught visual arts at Mendocino College since 1986, both as an adjunct and full time professor. After retiring from full time teaching in 2014, she dove headlong into intensive studio projects and has created an extensive and exciting new body of work. This show includes artworks that include three dimensional constructions made from found materials, collages, prints and paintings. The title of the exhibit alludes to a time of intense change in Ms. Gray’s life that, as often happens, came with an increase in anxiety. She describes a dream she had about the word “anxiety” itself in which the X was missing. This dream became a catalyst for artwork that began with a focus on the letter “X” and developed in myriad directions ranging from the abstract to representational.

The shows closes on March 26th

Regular Gallery hours: Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from 12:30-3:30pm

For special appointment call 468-3207 or email gallery@mendocino.edu
