Evolution: Paintings by Jo Temming
Exhibit dates: March 11 – July 29
Carpenter Lobby Gallery

Jo Temming is an Asian-American artist that creates contemporary minimalist art ranging from small single-panel pieces to large scale multi-panel works.  Her artistic objective is to eliminate the extraneous and reduce her art to the simplest form, whether with composition, color or form. Jo believes that the connection between artist and viewer should be collaborative, so she frequently designs her creations so they can be displayed and viewed in multiple ways.

Windows: Works by Mark Goad
Exhibit dates: March 4 – July 8
Dupree Lobby Gallery

Mark Goad is an Irving native (an Irving High School and University of Dallas grad) who after many years in Austin, has returned to North Texas. Finding inspiration in the landscape of his native Texas as well as myriad other subjects, Goad creates unique works of art through a most unique process — essentially painting with fiber pulp. Hand drawn with recycled liquefied Texas King Cotton fiber pulp, steeped in natural dyes and local water, Goad assembles liquid images on screens, before transferring his work onto drying blankets where they dry and solidify into complete sheets of paper. Mark’s method is unique because his application of liquified paper pulp becomes the handmade paper and the “painted” image together. The fiber literally becomes the medium and the canvas! Solidified in their final form, the pieces are delicate, yet able to hold a weight of detail. Depicting the natural beauty of his home state, and occasionally the characters who comprise it, Goad is a true Texas original, conjuring scenes and a slice of life in The Lone Star State.
