SUMMARY:Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an Artist Reception for About Time: Carleton & St. Olaf Colleges Fifth-Year EA Exhibition on Friday Feb 23 (7-9 pm) with Artist Talks at 7:30 pm.  Refreshments will be served.\nQuinn Batten \nCailan Carpenter \nHolland Hardie \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLaura Nakasaka \nJosh Torkelson \nEvan Weselmann \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAbout Time\nCarleton & St. Olaf Colleges Fifth-Year EA Exhibition\nFebruary 22 – March 17\, 2018\n  \nCarleton & St. Olaf Colleges Fifth-Year EA Exhibition \nEvery year following graduation\, a select group of senior art majors are invited to continue their studies at Carleton College and St. Olaf College as part of a Fifth-Year Educational Associate/ Emerging Artist program. The Northfield Arts Guild is proud to showcase these up-and-coming artists! \nThis exhibition features the following artists showing various pieces created during their Fifth-Year experience: \n\nQuinn Batten: Multi-media sculpture\nStand up and walk to the nearest wall. Hold your hand out and move it close to the wall\, as close as you can without touching it. Spend a moment on this task\, getting even closer. How does it feel to give your entire attention to that distance\, that relationship between your hand and the wall?\nComing from a background in photography and moving towards a focus on sculpture\, I find myself taking the photographer’s concept of the “frame” and applying it to space that we experience in ways other than sight— the space that we feel through touch and sound\, the space we remember\, the space we imagine.  My art invites viewers to refocus their attention and reframe their experience in compelling new ways. \nCailan Carpenter: Ceramic sculpture\nI am a ceramic artist and potter who combines my love for painting and carving with my love for clay to create decorated functional ware. My images are inspired by the nature that surrounded me during my upbringing in the boundary waters of northern Minnesota and the Cascade Mountains of Washington state. \nHolland Hardie: Painting and prints\nMy home in the mountains of West Texas has a long history of human habitation\, and each group that occupied this region left their stories painted on the rocks. These stories stretch back over 5\,000 years\, and as cultures appeared and disappeared over the centuries\, so did the knowledge of each culture’s unique symbolism. The abstract designs of the region’s earliest inhabitants had already lost their meaning a thousand years before Jesus was born\, replaced by the new symbols of a new culture — symbolism is an inherently transient form of communication. In this piece\, I play around with that idea\, drawing from more modern symbolism such as Christian iconography to create my own language of symbols. These symbols explore my connection to my home and add a temporary chapter to a 5\,000 year story\, written in a language that will almost certainly die with me. \nLaura Nakasaka: Prints\, photography and books\nI have spent a lot of time this year thinking about time—how time is deceiving\, how time is remembered\, and the inescapable question of how time is best spent. My experimentation attempts to visualize the passage of time at this point in my life\, mapping memories both reliable and unreliable through prints\, drawings\, and photographs. Currently I work at Carleton College in the library and art department. \nJosh Torkelson: Sculpture\nErratic is inspired by naturally occurring glacial erratics\, rocks transported from their native bedrock hundreds of miles by the movement of ancient glaciers. The embedded presence of these rocks in their foreign landscapes mirror their own temporal positions bridging time from their geological formation and later glacial deposition\, to our own contemporary human interactions among them. In creating new erratics out of clay\, I push us to examine and consider our own place in this history. \nEvan Weselmann: Painting\nEvan is a painter and illustrator whose work deals with the intersection of digital image making modes in a contemporary analog capacity. \n\n\n  \n  \nExhibition Sponsors: \n \n\n\n2017-18 Gallery Season sponsored by:
