    Ratio 3 Gallery: Ara Peterson - Wavepacks.

    Review by RWM: Easy to get the art of Ara Peterson confused with fabric when a close examination reveals that it is actually comprised of wood. One can lose their sense of the medium and become immersed in the waves, like the artist. Great use of color and shape to help create the illusion. The work, to be expected, is a little more rigid when compared to cloth-- which flows better-- and appears more like water. That said, the art is wondrous regardless. Great show and great effort in detailing.

    Comment by AB: Ara Peterson laser-cuts innumerable sheets of 1/8th-inch plywood, paints them up in painstaking progressions and then adheres them together to produce unbelievable undulating patterns of color and form. I love this art. In fact, I'm giving it a Pick of the Month plus a rare and highly coveted "How Do Dey Do Dat?" award all rolled up into one. Definitely worth seeing.

    Inclusions Gallery: 5 Printmakers.

    Artists: David Avery, John Gruenwald, Sarah M. Newton, Carrie Ann Plank, Jenny Robinson.

    Comment by AB: Printmakers don't get nearly the attention they deserve, perhaps due to the subtlety of their art combined with an inadequate understanding of the intricacies and degree of difficulty of their techniques. Here we have works by five of the area's more accomplished practitioners.

    Luna Rienne Gallery: Ezra Eismont - Zombie Nation Book Release and Art Show.

    Review by RWM: Gross and unsettling, like zombies are supposed to be. Who are these crazy creatures and mobs of soldiers that we keep seeing depicted so unflatteringly. Yuck. Decay. Symbolism, though not always clear, abounds. Yuck for some stars and their followers also. Zombie Nation.
