For the first time in over twenty years, I’ve run into one of my high school teachers. Cindy Clark taught various art classes, and I took a least one (I forget if I took more than one). It was one of my favorite classes. My favorite part of it was ceramics, where I sculpted an ice cream sundae from clay, paint, and hot glue (it makes great hot fudge). It was one of the most fun experiences I ever had, and I still have it (in a box somewhere, so I can’t show it to you right now).
Cindy opened her first solo art exhibit last night at the Eccles Gallery in the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo, Utah. The title of the exhibit is “Women in Waiting”, and the thirty works display a variety of activities and situations where women currently and previously had to wait. The works are done using encaustic painting, a medium that uses beeswax, pigments, and resins to achieve a unique, somewhat translucent quality.
The exhibit goes through January 28, 2019, on the lower level. I highly recommend taking the time to visit it.
