“Further East: Library Cave” (part 1) by Andrea Guskin
CALIFORNIA---Judaism and Buddhism have both been major influences in the life and art of Guskin, one of 31 Bay Area artists exhibiting in “Facing East: A Jewish Orientation” at the Jewish Community Library in San Francisco. The show, which runs through Aug. 3, features painting, sculpture, paper, textiles, graphic arts and mixed media. Her three-piece collage uses tape, thread, paint, maps, scraps of Hebrew lettering, and photographic transparencies that capture images of shadows she and her children found at home. [link]
