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.”
