March 15 – April 23, 2013
Reception: Friday, March 15, 6-8pm
Referring to the two types of geometry—2D and 3D—“Plane & Solid”
presents four artists who experiment with shape, pattern, and color to
create work with strong geometric structure. In the wall sculptures of
Alison Reintjes, the paintings of Hans Peter Sundquist, and the
functional ceramics of Marc Digeros and Mark Pharis, viewers are invited
to investigate the boundary between art and math. Through both
intuitive and scientific approaches, the artists use simple shapes to
construct objects of both intrigue and elegance.

Up for a one day auction is this little beauty of a cup. GlobalGiving, our Handmade For Japan charity, is doubling donations to the Japan fund made within the next day.
March 11th marks the two year anniversary of the Great East Japan
Earthquake and Tsunami that devastated the region north of Tokyo and
claimed upwards of 19,000 lives. While there has been some progress with
infrastructure in the region, there’s still much to be done to rebuild
livelihoods and normalcy, especially for children in Tohoku and those in
Fukushima. The Japanese government has received much deserved criticism
for its slowness to help evacuees and its continued lack of
transparency regarding issues of radiation in Fukushima. GlobalGiving is
funding almost two dozen Japanese organizations dedicated to making the
lives of Tohoku residents better. Some of these charities include leadership training for local youth,
support for orphanages, broadening radiation sensor networks, and connecting aspiring entrepreneurs with local business leaders to stimulate economic recovery at a local level.
This porcelain love bird cup with silver luster will go up for auction on eBay
on Sunday, March 10th at 9pm and end a day later at 9m est on Monday,
March 11th. The bidding will start at its retail value of $160 and 100%
of the proceeds will be donated to GlobalGiving who will match it 200%.
In 2011, I co-founded Handmade For Japan with my friends, Kathryn and Ai, who went on as partners in their new online venture called Studio KotoKoto, which focuses on Japanese and American craft.

*The winning bid will not be tax-deductible but will be matched by GlobalGiving. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation directly online through GlobalGiving’s Japan page.
