INTERNATIONAL INTERNET IMAGES

Nadja Breton of Mexico sent digital printouts of her images and poetry in Spanish about the pleasures, difficulties and necessity of connecting the world through computers. These pages are also displayed on the beautifully crafted pages of her website.

PLAYING WITH LIGHT

Eleanor Kent crocheted electro-luminescent wire to make a glowing lacy necklace mounted on a velvet board and plugged into the wall, combining ancient handwork with new light technology. Ranjit Bhatnagar made a joyful wall-hung box with light and little plastic bug-like things that danced around inside it making shadows on the front. Ed Duin's sculpture used a computer and moving polarized plastic parts that changed colors and shapes as you watched. Glenneth Lambert made a sensuously formed lighted wall sconce with photographs of nudes baked into the ceramic surface.

IN SUMMARY AND CONTINUING

The unifying principal of the show was the vitality and uniqueness of each piece. The works reflected the amazing diversity of the people who have belonged to YLEM over 20 years. Their joy in exploring new ideas and technology to express their individual passion continues. The impact of YLEM is ongoing. <Back
