.. . Azle Malinao-Alvarez Emerald Robin Seloover demonstrates bookbinding techniques at the University of Oregon Bookstore. Seloover is receiving her MFA in fibers and has participated in various Stop-In Sudios, which happen on Saturdays downstairs in the craft secion. Workshop continued from page 7 the “opportunity to mix mediums” in her work. She leads the Studios because she said she enjoys teach ing people about bookbinding. “There is something about book making that is empowering,” Seloover said. This was Seloover’s third Stu dio. July 22 she led a Studio on making book-cloth, something that people could use this week to cov er their new books. Jessica Bollinger, 20, visiting from Ohio, said she came to the Studio because, “I just recently learned how to make my own pa per and thought it would be a good idea to have something to do with it.” A total of 16 people watched in tently as Seloover effortlessly bound a book. “I’ve had a lot of practice,” she told the crowd. The bookstore staff supplied pa per and pens for people to take notes on and almost everyone did just that, scribbling like mad to get all of the minute details. Most of the people watching had a look of fierce concentration on their faces for the nearly three-hour demon stration as Seloover showed how to do the complicated stitching pattern. Seloover was teaching a tradi tional multi-signature on linen binding method where the book is hand-sewn and held together with thread and glue. “I think with watching her, taking notes and reading a book, I should be able to do it,” said Ruth Beller. Beller, like most people at the demonstration, was not a student but rather from the community. Beller is a local artist who has made books in the past, but was looking for a new method. Most of the pupils said they heard about the Studio through a flyer they received from being on the bookstore mailing list. Others said they saw the posters in the bookstore announcing the event. To get on the mailing list, anyone can sign up at the bookstore. Many of the people who attend the Stop-In Studio’s go on a fre quent basis. “They’re knowledgeable,” said Beller, referring to the Studio leaders. “I hope to continue to leam more.” Expressions continued from page 7 tions for the exhibit was McCosh’s “Bridger Range II,” a 1947 paint ing of mountains in Montana. “The series McCosh painted during that summer in Montana was very strongly responding to the power of the Rocky Moun tains,” Sponenburgh said. ‘“Bridger Range II’ comes close to structural cubism. McCosh was exploring aspects of cubism that depicted the western landscapes.” “The UOMA has a very fine exhibition director, so I’m look ing forward to seeing the exhib it,” Sponenburgh said. “I would like to see it all on the wall, up and presented in such a manner to be tasteful and informative.” Sponenburgh was not the only member of the selection commit tee whose life and artwork was touched by McCosh. “I was a student of his for over two years in the Masters of Fine Arts program,” Clarke said. He studied under McCosh’s before serving as the UOMA’s curator of exhibitions. “He was a tough teacher and expected you to work very hard,” he said. “He had an awful lot of . information to share if you were interested. McCosh had changed McCosh, David his approach to painting some time in the late 1940s or early 1950s. When I studied under him, he had a fresh direction he was very excited about.” In 1963, McCosh recommend ed Clarke to the museum’s direc tor to work as a curator, and he filled the position fcrr 12 years. “Painting is a hobby gone crazy,” Clarke said. “I think of Dave McCosh every day because I paint ever)' day. I just got more in formation from him then I could possibly use at the time, but it lingers on throughout my life. “When you have instructors like McCosh, he just becomes part of your heart, vour soul.” The museum is open from noon to 8 p.m. Wednesday and from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday.
