Faculty Art Show: Ongoing Corrosion Features Sculptures
February 14, 2007
AZUSA, Calif. –
On Tues., Feb. 13, Azusa Pacific University’s Bill Catling, MFA, chair in the Department of Art will host a reception for his art show, Ongoing Corrosion. Catling took a sabbatical from teaching in the fall, and the artwork on exhibit represents the culmination of his work during that time.
The exhibit consists of nine sculptures made from clay, wood, wire, rusted elements, and loquat, plum, and mulberry branches. The artwork presented deals with memory, loss, memorial, and hope.
“Clay is alive,” said Catling. “The role of the artist is to work in tune with the life of the materials. The crack in the clay is a gift to be received.”
Catling’s show runs from Feb. 5-16, 8 a.m.-7 p.m. in the Heritage Gallery, located on APU’s West Campus at 701 E. Foothill Blvd. The reception takes place Feb. 13 from 6-8 p.m.
