Gallery to feature women artists
CWRU's Mather Gallery will feature "Feminine Trilogy"-a celebration
of Women's History Month.
The free, public exhibit of sculptures and paintings by three
female artists opens at noon March 7 and continues through April
4. Gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m. weekdays.
The public can meet Deborah Boardman of Chicago; Ruth Waldman
of Atlantic Beach, N.Y.; and Jill Ziccardi of Farmingdale, N.Y.,
during a free and open reception at 5 p.m. March 21.
Boardman, currently an instructor at the School of the Chicago
Art Institute, creates artistic books, installation works and
paintings. Much of the work by Waldman, a sculptor, is influenced
by her Jewish religion and culture. In her paintings, Ziccardi,
a master of fine arts graduate of the School of the Chicago Art
Institute, said her paintings "simultaneously poke fun at and
embody stereotypes of women as housekeepers, sex objects, decorations
or symbols of man's social cache."
