Got this e-mail today from one of the librarians at Lee's Summit West. Thought it was worth sharing.

Found

There is a blue Walmart bag in the LMC that has an assortment of items in it, but we cannot identify the owner. It arrived in our area sometime after we left last night, and before we arrived this morning. See below for contents:

8 X 10 of Michael Jackson

Amazing Show at Kemper Crossroads Gallery

This artist is a kindred spirit...

"Keltie Ferris is a postdigital painter, employing formalist strategies and materials—oil, acrylic, sprayed paint, and oil pastel—to create enigmatic and visually seductive abstractions. Her quick, gestural marks, hard-edged forms, and diaphanous passages of sprayed oil paint demonstrate rigorous investigations of spatial illusion, color, and surface texture. Motley textures, marks, and palettes hover and collide into one another, creating complex compositions of competing strata of visual information. While recalling the works of Joan Mitchell, Sigmar Polke, Ross Bleckner, or Albert Oehlen, Ferris’s methodically structured paintings uniquely evoke the digital networks and urban topographies of the twenty-first century. And, with titles such as Jobriath (the first openly gay pop star) and Lady Stardust (David Bowie’s 1972 hit), our minds are punctuated with a broad range of associations from identity politics to pop-culture icons."

Follow My Curriculum

If any of you are interested in what I do on a daily basis I have recently started a new blog. The art department at Lee's Summit West thought it a good idea to track our weekly work for students who miss school so they can catch up by starting a blog. The blog is also useful if you are interested in learning more about art or art events in Kansas City.

So if you are interested or bored...LSTITANART.BLOGSPOT.COM
