Bold, functional ceramics by this nationally known artist, who has been closely associated with the artistic community at Penland School of Crafts in Asheville, North Carolina. Lindsay is the third artist from Penland to be featured in Laumeier's Artisan Gallery.

Bobrowski is an avant-garde American ceramic artist who challenges the viewer with life-sized human and animal images which she describes as "highly physical, visually obsessive, intimate and narrative in a dream-like, animistic way." Artist reception March 16, 3p.m.-5p.m.

St. Louis-based sculptor Tim Curtis creates an outdoor installation and an exhibition for Laumeier's special projects gallery. His installations evoke mythic journeys, ritual and spiritual birth; they examine issues of man and his relationship to the natural world, life cycles and the ephemeral nature of all life.

Alison Saar's powerful, rough-hewn figurative sculptures reach out to audiences from backgrounds as culturally and ethnically diverse as her own. Her monumental archetypal personages combine questions of spiritual identity, fragments of myth and legend, and practices of the everyday to address humanity in the broadest sense. Artist opening Friday, June 13.

Deborah Masuoka June 7-Auqust 3, 1997 Masuoka's giant, stylized rabbit heads act as silent sentinels in Laumeier's landscape. Her 5-to-7-foot clay sculptures use a familiar subject to create confrontational images that are more predator than prey and explore issues of vulnerability. Artist opening Friday, June 13.

Linda Christianson: Ceramics Auaust 1 6-SeDtember 28, 1997 Christianson's salt-glazed, slab-built ceramics combine strong, functional shapes with warm, earthy glazes. She is the fourth artist associated with Penland School of Crafts, Asheville, North Carolina, to be featured in Laumeier's Artisan Gallery.

An exhibition of models of his other works will be presented in the Main Gallery in September for the Second Fiber Biennial.

WHIRLIGIGS & WEATHERVANES October 18. 1 997-JanuarY 24, 1998
