Scale

The current (until November 6) show at Women and Their Work is "Emily Fleisher's Astro-Turf and it plays with scale and space (as in this work where a miniature landscape spills from a wheelbarrow constructed from wood.

Abstract Woman

This abstract sculpture outside Wally Workman and Urban Roots galleries is very stylized and abstract and yet: it is a woman sitting down holding a bird, isn't it?

Hot Art

Love the title of the art show Wally Workman Gallery had recently: "100 Degree: Group Show." Great West Sixth Street Gallery.

Talking about Art

Sunday we went to a gallery talk at the Scanlon Art Gallery at St. Stephen's School. (We didn't know this gallery was there and I don't think I'd ever been on the school campus.) Our friend Katy Nail had a show and that's her talking about her work.

Mental rhythms

We attended a gallery opening last night at Women & Their Work for our friend Laurie Frick's work. Her art reflects the patterns of everyday existence. These two ladies are taking a look at one of her intricate pieces.

Art Imitating Life Imitating Art

This mural at the gallery, Art on Fifth, seems to feature grackles on power lines with the Capitol and a Moonlight Tower in the background. So naturally grackles are perched atop the building there.

Shadow Art

Today is theme day at City Daily Photo and the theme is "shadows." In mid-April we stopped by the Women and their Work gallery and saw a site-specific installation by Megan Geckler. She uses a material called flagging tape to build these architectural structures and the shadows are part of the point so we thought this appropriate for our theme day.

Jennifer's Show

Saturday night we stopped by an art opening at Wally Workman gallery on West Sixth. Jennifer Balkan has appeared in this space before as part of E.A.S.T. (East Austin Studio Tour). This is the window of the gallery with one of her paintings inside.
