Humanities Center Gallery in Trinity Hall
Jan. 16 - Feb. 22
Jan. 25 Informal artists’ talk 4:30pm and Reception 5-7pm
898-4642

Dan Wooldridge and Susan Wooldridge Two Wools
Dan has been drawing, painting, and taking photographs in and out of a journal for years. He’s been a drummer in many bands, most recently The Comfy Chairs. He’s now a student at the San Francisco Art Institute. He’ll be showing paintings, collage, and photos.
Susan has been keeping a journal and making collage boxes for years. Here you’ll have a look at her (often unfinished) small boxes along with glimpses into her collage journal. She is the author of two books published by Random House: poemcrazy: freeing your life with words (now in its 19th printing) and the forthcoming (June 2007) tentatively titled foolsgold: making something from nothing.

Belinda Hanson Transparent Longings
Hanson earned her MA in art here in 2001. Hanson’s sculptures and sculptural installations are magical and strange, and also strangely familiar. The organic shapes of her sculptures are elongated, irregular, swollen, stretched, distended. Transparent packing tape is pressed together with an almost cellular logic. Hanson’s work is part of a long history of modernist sculpture of assemblage and found materials.
