Notes on the meeting of
12/4: Doug, former geologist and full time sculptor
since 1985, has been lecturing on Science and Art
for many years, to schools and colleges, in science
and engineering classes. His slide show was an historical
perspective of Science and Art right up to contemporary
artists that were in his Science and Art show. Doug
has lots of good ideas for future projects and paths
that our group might take. I am eager for all of
you to meet him soon.
Our next meeting will
be the second Thursday in January.
Hilary's son Alex, who is a brilliant physics student
at Whitman college has developed some breakthrough
theories that he wants to share with us...

To those of you who were
unable to make last week's meeting...as usual, you
missed a good one!
Jules Shapiro's
slide presentation began when he was still an orthopedic
surgeon with no artistic training and took us through
his transition into the world of stone carving. His
ability to evoke feeling and render with life like
accuracy is most impressive. Thank you Jules for
sharing your beautiful science & art creations.
You also missed seeing Richard Kramer tie
my velvet rope sculptures into exotic nautical knots.
This is a spin off from his presentation on "The
Mathematics and Sculpture of Knots".
I am delighted to report
that we have been invited to hold our April meeting on THURSDAY,
THE 25th, at "The Art and Science Laboratory".
This is the creative center for Woody Vasulka, Steina and Jim
Crutchfield of the Santa Fe Institute.
March 2002
Our next meeting will
be on THURSDAY MARCH 21, 7:00 PM at Sky's. Jules
Shapiro will be showing slides of his stone sculptures.
Jules has a background in orthopedic surgery.
Many thanks to Sky for
hosting our February meeting once again in his beautiful
studio/home. Three members shared their work. Sue
Denniston brought some artwork in hand cast paper
with gems stone and fiber, Ursula Freer brought
examples of her latest digital art work and shared
with us her technique in bringing the images together. Yours
truly also brought a recent piece and shared
some of my assignments from my classes at SFCC. Several
brought books to share. Some interesting discussions
ensued that were of course unresolved, worthy to
be continued...
Theaterwork in
Santa Fe has opened a new play, Tennessee William's" The
Notebook of Tergorin",his version of Checkov's "The
Sea Gull". It is very well done and the sets
and costumes terrific. Anyone interested in a Forum
theater party, Sat. March 9th, just let me know.

Despite the iffy weather
we had a good turnout for our January meeting at NCGR. Patty
Myers presentation was in the true spirit of
the forum in that her curiosity, investigation and
technical skills came together in a flowing and professional
slide show. It is the product of years of focus and
exploration. She has created a booklet in color of
the slides and text of her talk. It is well worth
the $10 is costs to copy. It can be ordered from
her. We appreciated all that it took to bring this
before us. It is a huge subject that will not end
for us with her talk.
Our next meeting will
be THURSDAY, FEBRURARY 21 at SKY'S STUDIO. Come
and celebrate with us unless you have a heavy date
at some secluded spot! We are going to stir the pot
again with another evening of "Works in Process".
Some of you were in the wings the evening at Sky'.
Let me know if you would like to have some time.
Also, I would like any one that is so moved to bring
a book that has been important to them. We will spend
a little time talking about them and select a few
for a more in depth discussion at a later meeting.
A book is a doorway to new worlds and new perspectives…
