Cohesive Discord opening hugely pleasurable!
Show runs through August 8 @ space 125 gallery of the Houston Arts Alliance
The bunnies and squirrels (Elaine Bradford and David Waddell) were a huge successful delight to all.
The Eater (Elaine Bradford, Kathy Kelley and Mat Wolff) put many a smile on peoples face when they found themselves child-like again embedded in a Dr. Suess story gone wrong.
We gave the Houston Arts Alliance a good scare when they saw torches on our material list. Fortunately we easied their minds but not lighting them with a match (Woody Golden, Lisa Marie Godfrey, Anila Q Agha).
Whitney Riley explains our work to our BOX amigos, Dan Dubrowski, Tom Bacon and associate.
All went home with smiles.
We had fun overwhelming the Arts Alliance beautiful space with art objects and narratives of significant proportions. (Whitney Riley).

Très Puddle
Color, whimsy, psychological tension, and a penchant for the vaguely irreverent punctuate this group of painters completing the University of Houston Painting Block program under the tutelage of Rachel Hecker and Al Souza. Visitors can expect to see everything from confectionery installations to experimental suburban landscapes and graffiti inspired sculpture to paintings of dewy-eyed sexpots and the delicately geriatric.
Graduating seniors include: Jessica Childers, Elizabeth Fowler, Tim Garcia, Cameron Kolaja, Scott McCombs, Megan O'Brien, JoAnn Park, Alexandra Quevedo, Lynn Sanders, Shane Tolbert, and Emily Wetterauer
Beyond the expanded field...again
This exhibition is the culmination of the Advanced Sculpture course at the University of Houston. Pieces presented were made to stretch the work spatially (explicit with viewer or particular site), in time (by activating it through motion or use), and/or contextually (how it behaves in the “world”).
Featured artists: Ashley Aichelman, Christa Havican, Brian McCord, Joy Moore Ian Sigley, Alexander Tu, and Anh Vu.
