Stop by the Cornell Lab tomorrow (Saturday September 18) from 4:00-6:00 PM for an art opening reception for Tricia Zimic's "Wild Urbania" exhibition, featuring oils and ceramics that transpose birds and other wildlife with urban settings.
You'll get a chance to meet the artist, enjoy refreshments, and get a first look at the exhibition. Artist's Statement: “As artists before me, my obsession with nature is expressed in recreating it through art. My work in this series entitled: ‘Wild Urbania’ highlights the contrast of ‘wild’ animals in our urban and suburban environments. The messages contained in this series are revealed through the juxtaposition of decaying New Jersey landscapes and the persistence of wildlife, striking the viewer on both a visceral and intellectual level. From my roots as a book illustrator, I am interested in communicating a story—in this case, one of renewal and conservation.” Bio: Tricia Zimic graduated from the Parson’s School of Design in NYC, where she studied illustration and sculpture, and also studied ceramics at the New Jersey Center of Visual Arts. Her process for creating ceramic sculpture involves using a slap roller, stoneware or porcelain clay, glazes, and a lot of muscle! The unique and interesting quality of her work has led to it being featured in installations across the world. Hope to see you here! ****************************************** Charles Eldermire Public Education Outreach Associate Manager, Sapsucker Woods & Johnson Visitors' Center Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd.
