Beth Livensperger creates an installation of work on paper, tailored specifically to ECC’s Art Gallery space.  This body of work grew out of her  experiences with strong female colleagues: mentors, competitors, friends, and advocates. The large-scale collages depict women navigating the banal, yet psychologically charged, space of office interiors.

September 30 – October 24 in the Art Gallery

The dilemma of how to use drawing and painting media to resolve competing interests in the human figure, urban and domestic spaces, pictorial  depth, passage of time, narrative, and dynamic composition influenced by art history, contemporary art, and comics, were what initially motivated Chris Troutman’s artwork. Later, juxtaposing imagery from the US and Japan, the two places he lives each year, has created the potential for content that compares social and cultural differences and presents audiences with a global perspective, which has become more relevant in contemporary US culture.
