"Between the Lines" by Kris Sanford
January 2011
“Being young and queer, I searched for a history that spoke to me—included me.” A 1954 diary that belonged to a grandfather she never met serves as the inspiration and background of the photographs from Kris Sanford’s latest series, Between the Lines. Though they are works of fiction, the sampled images and pages hold the truth of the search for lost stories of life, family, and love.
Woodturning Demo w/ Paul Porter, Sunday January 16, 2011 Sunday afternoon was spent with a glass of wine watching expert woodturner Paul Porter turn his magic! Paul's beautiful bowls and rolling pins are legendary at Practical Art, each one made from locally felled trees. Paul's work is from naturally fallen trees that may have been in your neighborhood - he saves them from the landfill and turns them into true beauty!
Friday, January 7, 2011The Fine Art of Greyhounds was a fundraiser to benefit Greyhound Pets of Arizona, a non-for-profit, all-volunteer, group that places retired racing Greyhounds in homes as pets. The event featured refreshments and snacks, an auction and raffle, and the work of artists who donated an original work of Greyhound art, in a variety of media, that they created for the show.
