Page 12 November 16, 2016 Arts & ENTERTAINMENT From the Guardino Gallery “Woman Transforming Into Bear,” a bronze with patina work by Terresa ‘Michuar’ White. Guardino Gallery, 2939 N.E. Alberta St., completes a month long exhibit Saturday with works by Lynda Jikai, Terresa “Mich- uar” White and Stacy Polson. Golan’s series, We Didn’t Plan-It, depicts both chaos and pattern using materials such as coffee, oil and water to create a relationship between the unex- pected and intentional. White is a sculptor working in clay and bronze who was in- spired by her Yup’ik Eskimo her- itage stories of transformation between animal and human. The Jefferson Dancers perform ‘Parallel” as choreographed by student Lillian Larson. The elite dance group from Jefferson High School will give a public performance on Saturday, Nov. 19 at the Alberta Abby, 126 N.E. Alberta St., to raise donations for its upcoming tour to France. ‘Akiko and Simon’ is a needle felting work by Tracy Polson. Polson’s felted work often gives the impression that one is viewing an illustration from a dramatically charged Japanese folk tale. Needle-felting is the process of interlocking fibers by stabbing them repeatedly with a barbed needle to create “wool paintings.” Jefferson Dancers on Stage Saturday show a fall fundraiser The Jefferson Dancers are invit- ing the community to attend their annual fall benefit on Saturday Nov. 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Alberta Abby, 126 N.E.
