Out of the Shadows, Signatures of All Things, Discarded Memories Opening Reception
Out of Shadows (Hyndman Gallery) features paper installations by Yoonshin Park and Richard Shipps. Park creates the paper in her installations, whereas Shipps cuts it. Parks creates paper using a pulp mixture of cotton and abaca. The process of creating paper intrigues Park because of the boundless possibilities for how she can incorporate and use it as a medium. Shipps on the other hand has long been fascinated by the interplay of light and shadow and how that interaction reveals form in many interesting ways. Their installations convey a fragile balance, yet can be shaped to create a complex volume, surface, and presence.
Have a Picnic in the Park in Portage
Pack a lunch and take the moms in your life out on a picnic to Woodland Park, Imagination Glen, or other great park in Portage! It's going to be a nice weekend so treat your mom to something special this Mother's Day. Or you could have a Kentucky Derby-themed picnic with mint juleps and big, crazy hats.
