Catch This: Depth of Field

Today in local art

Tonight, January 8, 6 - 8:30 pm, Kirkland Arts Center will host the opening reception for Depth of Field, an exhibit of works by the instructors at KAC, which will run through February 6, 2010. The artists showing — Ryan Finnerty, Carol Gouthro, Michael Lorefice, Aaron Murray, Doug Parry and Kinu Watanabe — work with paint and ceramics, expressing ideas about heritage, fear and nature.

From the KAC e-newsletter:

"We all have within each of us the ability to alter our own 'depth of field,' expanding and narrowing our perspective in an attempt to understand both the parts and the whole of the world around us. The depth of field of an artistic practice is ever-changing and can be expanded into a way of learning, building and sharing with others. In this way, teaching, combined with artistic practice, completes a process of nurturing and growth that brings forth the possibility of renewal."
