    Unwoven Light - 30 August 2013
    Rice University - Houston 
    Soo Sunny Parks installation Unwoven Light animates Rice Gallerys expansive space, transforming it into a shimmering world of light, shadow, and brilliant color. Suspended from the walls and ceiling, thirty-seven individually sculpted units are arranged as a graceful, twisting flow of abstract form. Entering the gallery there is no set path to follow. Instead, we are invited to meander slowly as one might stroll along a rivers edge, stopping to admire the glints of light that dance on the waters surface.

    November 16 & 17, 2012
    OPENING RECEPTION - Friday, November 16, 2012 from 6 to 8:30pm

    LOCATION - 4411 Montrose Street, Suite F (second floor)
    HOURS - Friday & Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm

    The new residents at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft have been busily working in their studios, and the sounds of hammering, sawing and humming machinery can be heard throughout the building. Come and see what they’ve been up to over the past two months at a collective display of their new work. Featuring new works by Tarina Frank, Chanda Glendinning, Susan Fletcher King, Jaydan Moore and Robert Thomas Mullen, the exhibition is just around the corner and down the street from the Craft Center.

    The exhibition will only be open for two days, so don’t wait ‘til the last minute!

    The HCCC Artist Residency Program not only gives the selected artists studio space but also provides an environment in which they can share ideas, collaborate, experiment, seek advice from peers and speak with the general public about their work and the greater world of contemporary craft.
