About the Exhibition & Artists On View From 2 December 2023 – 16 February 2024 Open by appointment<mailto:dlr@musicalbridges.org> Monday through Friday, 10am-4pm  JEWELRY Laura Everett is a jewelry maker in San Antonio known for her delicate chain-work and hammered metal. Her recent work, however, includes innovative uses for now-defunct but colorful, malleable telephone wire and other found objects. Sherry Fotopoulos has been an important force in the San Antonio jewelry and metal-work scene, including precious metals and precious metal clay. This exhibition presents a sculptural project of 100 related but unique “ear sculptures” – large, elaborate earrings, which can be worn individually or in pairs, displayed as a sculptural installation. Maria Guerrero’s jewelry is smaller-scaled and more traditional at first glance, but the elaborate combinations of materials, hand-made chains, and figurative combinations reward those who look closely. CERAMICS Doug Oian creates functional ceramics with a range of textures, colors, and surface decoration that are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the hand. Michael and Gaye Lynn Hodgson’s masterful stoneware creations bridge the art/fine craft divide with simple, functional forms and painterly, calligraphic surface designs that invite contemplation. Similarly, Mark T. Hansen slips effortlessly between purely sculptural ceramic forms and functional wares, unified by his characteristic textures and palette. PAINTING Joy Elizabeth Gibson’s small-scale abstractions are exercises in how to combine simple forms and a small number of flat colors to achieve a satisfyingly complex yet easily “readable” image. David Guerrero’s intense, saturated colors and whimsical, quirky abstractions defy the seeming simplicity of depicting trees, which become complex character studies in a dense netherworld of imagery. Thelma Ortiz Muraida explores the complex relationship between mythology, imagery, and personal and cultural identity in her richly layered paintings.   [https://files.constantcontact.com/975a676a701/bae162cb-4495-4282-ba33-211...
