JOPLIN - Works of art by Josie Mai, assistant professor of Art at Missouri Southern State University, will be displayed at art galleries in Kansas City and Nevada, MO this fall and winter.
The display titled "A Sense of Order" will be featured at the Leedy Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City from September 3 to October 30, 2010. A special opening will be held from 6 p.m.-9 p.m.
Following that showing, the exhibit will be featured in Nevada from November 17 to December 16, 2010 at the PEO Foundation Gallery at Cottey College.
"I make art because it is a tangible, immediate way to process my life and what interests me visually and intuitively," Mai said. "Author Joanne Harris in the book Chocolat describes 'a way of mapping out the random patterns of our trajectory.' This is what my art does for me, it creates a sense of order to a nonsensical existence. The new work is a mixed media installation filled with color, pattern, and figures navigating the space created for them." Go Back |
