Linda Lewis: Becoming

Sept. 18 – Oct. 23

For the last few years Linda Lewis has been making figurative sculptures from clay that focus on how we become who we are: as a human, a community, a nation. She has always had a curiosity about why people are who they are. What makes them love certain things and hate others? How did they become skilled at tending a garden or working with people? How do they become compassionate instead of uncaring? How do they view the world and why? What makes some people happy and others cranky? What makes some communities more successful (at least on the surface) than others? Lots of questions. Linda wanted to represent “becoming.” Becoming successful or happy or a dreamer or unsatisfied or loving or courageous, whatever the life circumstances.

This exhibit takes a small look at some of these questions. Hopefully you’ll form your own questions and observations and will conjure an image to represent just how you became who you are.
