MARCH
 March 6 - March 31, 2009
Mikel Lefler
Resinology
An avid interest and training in both science and art has driven me to create beautifully crafted sterling silver and resin jewellery. Most of the work will contain insects in whole or in part but some will be strictly in resin and pigment alone. I will be displaying all types of jewellery: pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets, brooches and cufflinks as well as a few other more sculptural pieces.

Isn't Art a Function?
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 3 from 6pm - 8pm
This exhibition features a mix of one of a kind items as well as functional pieces; bowls, pepper mills and vases. We hope to blur the line a little between "functional" and "artistic" objects and to display a range of surfaces from highly polished to rough and textured.

Elaine Brewer-White
Light-Headed
Opening Reception Thursday, November 5 from 6pm - 8pm
For this new series of works, titled “Light-Headed,” Brewer-White engages the concept of blending art and utility—namely, art as light source. “In this age of recession and belt-tightening, I wanted to reflect on ways I could present art that serves a purpose as well as an aesthetic. The idea of creating torsos with lights for heads made me laugh—and got me so excited I’ve been in my studio 24/7!” says Brewer-White.
