Send created by RED DOT Project artist, Beth Kappa is shown above. It is one of the ten pieces created collaboratively with RED DOT Project artists and ICASI faculty chefs. This piece is available at the ICASI Meritage Gala on September 9th through silent auction. Tickets can be ordered through ICASI.

Beth writes about her work:
The “Fish Scales” series developed from an attraction towards patterns occurring in the natural environment. The fish scale pattern was something I was drawn to based on its dynamic repetition of shapes and fluid combination of flat and metallic colors. I have been combining these color palettes using acrylic paint, stencils and spray paint. These materials develop layers of depth creating emotional and harmonious compositions of shape, pattern and color.

Meet Endure Artist Robert L. Stockham

cgray — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:08:07 +0000

Robert L. Stockham is a Cleveland-based fine art photographer and a principal in Great Lakes Design Cooperative, which specializes in commercial and retail design with a focus on environmental sustainability. Robert’s photo art runs the gamut from portraiture to urban landscapes to prints like the one you see here, in which he uses traditional darkroom techniques to develop ethereal photo images on canvas. The results are moody and textural, inviting the viewer to collaborate with the artist to reflect on these environment based compositions.

More of Robert’s work can be seen (and purchased) at the Endure collection launch on February 11, 2010, at www.shopreddotproject.org.

Meet Endure Artist Qandle Qadir

cgray — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:32:14 +0000

Qandle Qadir is a silversmith and jeweler who obtained her BFA at CalArts. Upon returning to Northeast Ohio, she was quickly inspired by the old steel mills, rails, bridges and industrial ports that define the ‘working’ landscape of the rustbelt region. Her beautifully handcrafted jewlery transforms these gritty urban design elements into contemporary wearable art objects.

Using the same techniques and tools — silver, glass and stone — that silversmiths have been using for centuries, her work is an exploration of old and new – a play of design and texture that celebrates the passage of time. Qandle is inspired by the reclaiming of nature, the weeds pushing cracks up through the concrete in an abandoned parking lot or the beauty of an old bridge or other manmade structure taken over by nature —- whether by rust or ivy or birds nesting. Her work, both industrial and organic at the same time, reflects that ongoing man vs. environment struggle.

More of Qandle Qadir’s work can be seen (and purchased) at the Endure collection launch on February 11, 2010, at www.shopreddotproject.org.

Meet Endure artist Chris Zielski

cgray — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:27:31 +0000

Chris Zielski’s career began in arts education but bloomed into an exploration of textiles, photography and metal. All these disciplines inform her work today as she creates collages that combine metal, etching and photo transfer. Organic objects — leaves, insects, water currents — find their way into her metal art. So do geometry and geography. One of her favorite commissions was a grid of tiles that made up a map of the Great Lakes, featured here. This work, a commission through RED DOT Project, has led Chris to further explore the creation of maps large and small — and maps are now an important piece of her business, resulting in additional commissions and sales.

Chris uses an electrolytic, environmentally-friendly alternative to acid-based etching. Each metal plate is coated with up to eight layers of acrylic glaze that creates a surface with rich color and a high gloss similar to that of an enamel, but without the use of hazardous materials. Her works reflect the environment and her processes reflect her commitment to sustainable art practices.
