Photo by Jlim Spickelmier Sculptures, drawings influenced by neighbors by Jim Spickelmier Staff Writer Artist sculptor Linda Hal fon’s exhibit “Circling North” is currently on display, for ones viewing pleasure, in the Pauling Gallery. California born Halfon re ceived her MSA from the Uni versity of Oregon. She currently resides in Sitka Alaska, a com munity of 8,000 with only 14 miles of streets, where she is a sculpt ing and drawing instructor for the University of Alaska, Sitka. Halfon has studied original Michelangelo drawings in Lon don and through the Jan Zach Sculptor Award, from Univer sity of Oregon, has had the opportunity to study original sculpting in Florence, Italy. At home, in Sitka, Halfon’s neighbors are the eagle, raven, and great blue heron. They have influenced her work and become the models for her colored pen cil drawings and terra cotta, stea tite, and bronze sculpting cur rently on display. Through the University of Alaska, Halfon travels, via sea plane and boat, to small Alas kan communities to bring art instruction to the remote areas. There are five art shows each year in the Pauling Gallery. The faculty art show starts the year; then, three professional artists are invited by the art instructors to put on art shows, and the student art show ends the year. by Sue Ann Walker Staff Writer Through the doorway of that room that we rush to between classes, hang out to study in and sit in to pour over current events is a story of some common folk. The room is our own library and the stories are not sitting on a shelf waiting to be read. They can be found in a piece of folk art, a mural, that hangs to tell tales of some of our favorite teachers and those who have played a part in the history of Clackamas Com munity College. The mural that graces the wall, so that it can be seen upon enter ing the library, is a day relief sculp ture created by the hands of ce ramics instructor Nancy Travers and the tales of Assistant Dean John Hooley. It might be easy to ignore this creation in the rush to obtain information for assignments between classes but it is worth taking a moment to explore. “Folk art” may sound as though it describes something of another time...another culture alien to our own. Fortunately, that definition can be disspelled as a viewer identifies instructors Le land John, Craig Lesley and even the face of John Hooley himself among the richly textured wall hanging. To define folk art prop erly would be to say that it tells a story of common folk. Most likely ON-CAMPUS CHILD CARE Do it out of respect for the dead. And the living.
