• Objectives of the Exhibit

Passages continues the on-going annual collaborative exhibit that Northern California artists Warren Arnold, Jocelyn Audette, and Hanya Popova Parker hold each year and is the seventhshow that this trio has held at the Blue Gum Gallery.

In this year’s exhibit, they take a radically new approach and explore the significant stages of life, or passages, that occur from conception to beyond death, providing their interpretations in stone, drawings, oil, and encaustic.

The exhibit begins with drawings by Jocelyn Audette that take the viewer from Alpha through young adulthood. The second set of drawings by Hanya Popova-Parker continue the theme from courtship through to Omega. Warren Arnold’s sculpture supplements and supports the drawings and paintings throughout the exhibit. Once again, the artists employ the process of interpreting drawing into sculpture into painting, segueing from two-dimensional work to three-dimensional to two-dimensional again, or 2-3-2.

While their diverse experiences and personalities influence their approaches to the media and the theme, it is the collaborative aspects that underlie the exhibit and give it a unique dynamic energy.
