Terri
Saulin "Lines of Flight" |

Hancock – September 18, 2009
A reception for Philadelphia artist Terri Saulin was held
Thursday evening Celebrating the opening her exhibit “Lines
of Flight”, at the Finlandia University Gallery.
Terri Saulin is an extremely gifted artist who creates
wonderful works of art that are exciting and unique to say
the very least.
Terri Saulin's art exhibit at Finlandia University opened
Thursday with a public reception for the artist. The artist
spent the week visiting and teaching the students at
Finlandia's School of Art and Design. Saulin teaches at
Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia.
As our reader's know we recently published the press release
for this exciting exhibit. But, the release didn't prepare
me for what I was to see as entered the Gallery in the
Finish American Center at Finlandia. Terri's work stops you
in your tracks just long enough for you to say "Wow!"
We do our best to photograph these art exhibits in an
attempt to share these events with the residents of the
Western U.P. Terri's art really needs to be seen in person
to be truly appreciated and enjoyed. Terri Saulin primarily
works in two mediums, porcelain and pen and ink.
Which ever medium she works in the result will leave the
viewer both pleased and excited.
Saulin begins her work with a sculpture then it evolves into
a pen and ink. A process quite the opposite of that usually
used by artists, however, Terri Saulin's art certainly
questions the norm. Several of Terri's drawings are layered,
which results in a really awesome work of art.
Terri’s work is a result of a stimulus an external stimulus.
Her interests include biology, botany classical music,
geology and gastronomy. Terri says" Iview wall installations
as recipes or maps. The ceramic elements and drawings have a
symbiotic relationship. They regenerate each other, becoming
elastic and infinitely expandable hybrid configurations."
Saulin's current inspirations come from Canadian classical
pianist Glen Gould and the book "A Thousand Plateaus:
Capitalism and Schizophrenia" by Giles Deluze and Felix
Guitarri.
While visiting this exhibit, I questioned many of the
attendee's as to their opinion of the exhibit. Interesting
to note that regardless of age, everyone shared the same
experience with this wonderful exhibit.
This is a must see exhibit. The exhibit will be open through
October 20, 2009. |
