October 6,1999 FEATURES Carolinian 7 Smoke and Mirrors: Sharon Cross' Photography at the Haywood Arts Center by Phoebe Esmon Guest Columnist Western Carolina University graduate Sharon Cross' photographs capture the elusive quality of memory in the way that a good book captures an era. That quality, which gives formlessness solidity and places the intangible within our grasp, makes the best reading. In many ways, experiencing Cross' photographs is like reading your favorite novel. You can't put it down, but you try to make those final two pages last two weeks. This is not to say that they are purely documentary, which can be about as exciting as watching grass grow. Images, which are specific to Cross's life experience without becoming an inside joke, allow the viewer to apply his/her own meanings and stories. Cross' visual vocabulary is evocative of the minutiae of our existence, those Smoke and Mirrors Haywood Performing Arts Center September 28 - October 28 Call (828)452-6322 for hours small parts of our lives that want to pass mostly unnoticed. These are the moments that tend to rest under the bed of our consciousness. They are the comfortable moments - a misty Halloween, a blanket fort in the living room, the smell of pancakes on an autumn Saturday - times that represent neither mountain tops nor valleys. Cross' photographs make it possible for us to remember the sweepings of our lives, which, when called to consciousness, allow us to create truer images of ourselves. These photographs are visually stunning. They demonstrate the technical proficiency of the artist. Cross chooses to work most often in black and white, which lends itself to recollection and dreaming. Most recently, Cross has begun to experiment the application of the photographic process to 3-Dimensional objects. Two pieces in this show, Losing My Religion and Life Reconstruction, are examples Lohin featured in Chelsea by Holly Rhodarmer Staff Writer The Chelsea Gallery is literally glowing. Dizzying works by Ro Lohin assault the viewer as they enter the gallery located in the University Center. It's a good assault, the kind that makes you step back, inhale deeply, and proceed to view the works that serve a portion much larger than the small gallery can accommodate. The show, which will run through October 22, is a valuable glimpse into the world of contemporary art. James Thompson, WCU professor of Art, said of the show, "Ms. Lohin's work is uncompromisingly personal and sensuously accessible. The viewer can take pleasure in original color and brushwork combinations that sing out in modulated harmonies." Lohin received her BA from UNC Greensboro and attended the much acclaimed New York Studio School, before recieving her MFA from Parsons School of Design. She spent last summer in Cullowhee as a visiting artist, and taught a summer course. She is currently on the faculty of the New York Studio School. As a perceptual painter, Lohin works from landscapes, still lifes, and the human figure. This is not apparent when first considering her paintings, which seem to ooze with emotion, but rarely reality. Her intense use of colors, which echo the works of the fauves, give her works so much life they seem to have an audible heartbeat. Lohin has the ability to choose apt titles. They define her works in a very powerful way. Though the title is not neces sary to appreciate her sensitivity, or her eye for color, it helps frame her works and glimpse momentarily, the world through her eyes. Demure Resurge, a delicate mix of greens, blues, reds, and soft yellows beautifully demonstrates this gift. The colors exist on the canvas in subtle harmony, but they are not fully exposed. A white and green wash masks the colors. In places, they seem to burn with intensity, but as the title suggests, they are demurely resurging. They are not taking over the canvas, but quietly making their presence known. The effect is soft, yet significant. In the mournful work, She Weeps, the impression is of grief, of a tender moment. Lohin's varied palette inches down the canvas, combining beauty with sadness, strength with vulnerability. The impression is of a rain pelting a window, reflecting the bright neon lights of a busy city street. Her most dynamic piece, Dizzy Nest, rhythmically recalls the colors of autumn, with the vitality of a bird gathering food for her young. Though confusion may appear to be the dominant element in this work, there is continuity. Her brushstrokes are more abrupt, her characteristic drips flow upwards as well as down. The colors cast a hypnotic light, their combination is both garish and beautiful—Lohin at her best. To anyone interested in understanding art or emotion, Lohin's show is a worthy teacher. Her pieces play off each other, emulating, as well as creating, the very essence of the human experience. Sharon Cross' work entitled "Self Portrait" of her experimentation within this new genre. This newer work opens up the somewhat limited field of straight photography to myriad improvisations and variations. Sharon Cross has two daughters. She lives in Webster, NC, where she continues to investigate into and experiment with disparate bits of individual and corporate memory.
